Libertin Louison
Born and raised in Antwerp, Belgium, Libertin Louison built his career around the belief that fragrance belongs to the individual who wears it. He trained as a classically educated perfumer and later established his own laboratory in Paris, where he develops original compositions across perfume, scented candles, and cosmetics. In 2008, he founded Technique Indiscrete, giving his sensual, playful name to a house shaped by his own hand rather than a corporate brief. Louison works independently, with the freedom to compose without committee approval and the discipline to pursue nuance beneath the provocations. His practice treats perfume as an intimate form of design: something that reveals character, stirs memory, and leaves an impression long after the scent itself has faded.

How Libertin composes
Louison's compositions balance sensual warmth with polished construction, a hallmark of his classical training paired with his instinct for the unexpected. He works across a full spectrum of olfactory materials, from fresh citrus and green accords to rich woods, soft florals, and warm amber notes, building contrasts that reward close attention. Candles and cosmetics sit within the same creative framework, suggesting he thinks of scent in terms of atmosphere rather than isolated application. His preference for working independently lets him refine each formula on its own terms, aiming for compositions that wear elegantly on the skin and develop distinctive depth over time.
Philosophy
What drives Libertin
Louison approaches fragrance with a libertine curiosity and a craftsman's attention to detail. He does not present perfume as decoration but as an encounter, personal and slightly provocative, capable of shifting the mood of a room. His independent laboratory gives him the space to experiment, refine, and follow a composition until it feels true. The name behind his house, Technique Indiscrete, captures both his method and his attitude: technical training serves instinct, and discretion gives way to deliberate excess. He believes a fragrance should say something about the person wearing it, offering an opening rather than a fixed identity.
