Maison Rebatchi is a French perfume house founded in 2018 by Mohamed Rebatchi, born in Créteil in 1991 to Algerian immigrants. He was seemingly not destined for any of this. At twelve years old, he secretly explored perfume shops after school. He trained himself, honing his nose and learning about raw materials. No school, no network, no money, only a conviction and a knowledge of scents that ultimately 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 materials and his ability to push perfumers further and further. Drawn by the man as much as by the project, these big names offered him what the industry rarely grants to autodidacts: 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 Aliénor 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. Through the creations, an invisible bridge between two cultures, France and Algeria, takes shape.
