The path from chemist to fragrance creator

For Steven Cless, his education in chemistry became not just a foundation, but the key to understanding the very essence of perfumery. His career began not in a "nose" laboratory, but in production, which gave him invaluable practical experience working with ingredients and technologies. This unique background allowed him to easily find common ground with both large perfume companies and young independent designers such as Abbott and Joots, for whom he created intimate and soulful compositions.

Signature style: freshness and comfort

Steven Class's style can be described as the art of creating the perfect everyday fragrance. His strength lies in creating clean, uncluttered perfumes that feel like a second skin. He masterfully works with airy musky, fresh citrus, and transparent floral notes, transforming them into olfactory images of freshly laundered linen, a sunny morning, or a cozy sweater. This philosophy reached its peak in his work for the Clean brand.

The best fragrances that have become cult classics

Among the perfumer's numerous works are real hits, beloved by the community. Undoubtedly, one of his most famous works is Marc Jacobs - Splash Cotton (2016) — a brilliant interpretation of purity and freshness that continues to receive rave reviews today. For the Clean brand, he has created a whole galaxy of successful fragrances, such as the sensual Clean - Amber Saffron, the delicate Clean - Blonde Rose, and the ultra-comfortable Clean - Soft Laundry. His talent has also been evident in the creation of complete perfume lines for After Six, including both women's and men's versions.

A wide range of brands and collaborations

In addition to the aforementioned giants, he has collaborated with the legendary house of Tova Beverly Hills, for which he created the seductive Tova Beverly Hills - Tova Nights. His work for Abbott, for example, Abbott - Big Sky, reflects the trend for "place perfumes," while the intimate composition Joots - LiLi demonstrates his ability to work with niche concepts. This proves his incredible flexibility and ability to capture the DNA of absolutely any brand.

Contribution and love of fans

Ratings and reviews of Stephen Class's fragrances are the best evidence of his success. His perfumes regularly rank high in selections of "most comfortable" and "everyday" fragrances, garnering thousands of positive reviews from users.
