Maison Rebatchi is a French perfume house founded in 2018 by Mohamed Rebatchi, born in Créteil in 1991 to Algerian immigrants, who was seemingly not destined for any of this. At twelve years old, he secretly explored perfume shops after school. He trained himself, honed his nose, and learned about raw materials. No school, no network, no money, only conviction and a knowledge of scents that eventually surprised those in the know. The adventure took a decisive turn the day he contacted Karine Chevallier. This meeting led to two others: Randa Hammami, then Maurice Roucel, then Bertrand Duchaufour. With each collaboration, the same reaction: surprise at his mastery of materials and his ability to push perfumers further and further. Drawn to the man as much as to the project, these big names offered him what the industry rarely offers to self-taught individuals: their trust and carte blanche. Each perfume from the house is the result of this dynamic. One perfumer, one emblematic raw material, one personal story. Bois d'Enfants by Karine Chevallier evokes the pine forests of Vendée. Cuir Tassili by Alienor Massenet crosses the Algerian desert. Feu Patchouli by Bertrand Duchaufour smokes and spices. Joyeux Osmanthe and Musc Panache bear Maurice Roucel's signature. Throughout the creations, an invisible bridge is formed between two cultures, France and Algeria.
