From Scent Memory to Apprenticeship
The source says Polge grew up near Avignon and was inspired by jasmine-scented air around Grasse. After university, he began a traditional apprenticeship there with Jean Carles.
That sequence connects early sensory memory with formal craft training, though the short biography does not attempt a complete career chronology.
Selected Fragrance Work
The source lists Rive Gauche, Diva, Antaeus, Coco, Égoïste, Allure, Coco Mademoiselle, Chance, Bleu de Chanel, Coco Noir and numerous Allure Homme and Les Exclusifs de Chanel works. Compare his path with Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud.
