Maison Rebatchi is a French perfumery house founded in 2018 by Mohamed Rebatchi, born in Créteil in 1991 to Algerian immigrants, and who, by all accounts, was not destined for any of this. At twelve, he secretly roamed perfumeries after school. He trained himself, sharpened his nose, and learned about raw materials. No schooling, no network, no money, just a 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 reaction was the same: surprise at his mastery of raw materials and his ability to push perfumers further and further. Attracted by the man as much as by the project, these big names offered him what the industry rarely grants self-taught individuals: their trust and carte blanche. Each perfume from the house is the result of this dynamic. A perfumer, an emblematic raw material, a 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 is smoky and spicy. Joyeux Osmanthe and Musc Panache bear the signature of Maurice Roucel. Throughout the creations, an invisible bridge is drawn between two cultures, France and Algeria.
