OUR PARTNERS
All our noses, design experts and craftsmen work directly with Fred bringing all their savoir-faire to turn his ideas and fantasies into a superb sensitive, visual and olfactive experience
Maud Chabanis - Creation director at PCW
Experienced nose and Director of Creation at PCW, it is with the greatest passion that Maud Chabanis evolves in her job that drives and accompanies her daily.
Coming from the south of France, and more precisely from the Camargue, the world of smells has played an important role in her life and especially the smell of Southern France flowers, spices in the kitchen, Provençal aromatic plants, perfumes from her beloved ones and many more… Maud knew very early that the profession of nose would be the one she would choose with passion, obviousness and vocation.
Hélène Prévot – Passionate Creative Perfumer
With over 25 years of experience, Hélène Prévot is a perfumer, also known as a “Nose.” She graduated from the Didier Rocher class at ISIPCA in Versailles and creates perfumes for many brands in France and abroad.
“Being able to express myself through scent is a sensory journey that reinvents itself every time.”
After working as a perfumer for 15 years in many companies, she decided to establish her own business in 2014. This decision allows her to be closer to her clients and fully embrace her creativity and aspirations.
Xavier Blaizot – CEO and nose at PCW
Xavier first held positions within Robertet as a perfumer in Europe, the United States and Mexico before joining PCW. Since 2021, he has worked as a perfumer while also managing business development at PCW.
A key driver and passion for Xavier is to bring natural ingredients to the forefront, as it is his belief that this is fully in line with his conception of modern perfumery.
“For me, being a perfumer is much more than a day-to-day job. It means opening to a whole new world by paying attention to every scent and looking for olfactive beauty in common or basic things. This passion has forged my personality and my sensitivity.”
Camille and Frédéric Muller – Managing directors at Cristallerie de Montbronn
Since 2016, the Cristallerie de Montbronn has been chaired by Frédéric Muller, accompanied by his daughter, Camille. Together, they bring ambition and exceptional work to lead the crystal factory towards an even brighter future.

Also known as the “Glass and Crystal Route”, this little corner of paradise for any crystal lover connects the main glass and crystal factories of Lorraine and the Northern Vosges. This is a unique artisanal and artistic heritage that is granted of a worldwide recognition.
Camille and Frédéric are of a precious help for Fred Kross visual creations as they are actively involved in the design of all bottles, bringing their experience and technical savoir-faire to adjust Fred’s designs and propose alternatives that can fit with the specific crystal craftsmanship technical constraints.
