Loïc Peyron
Thirty-five trans-Atlantic races-including 15 solo crossings, one Vendée Globe, The Race... At the age of 41, Loïc Peyron holds one of the most outstanding records of achievement in ocean sailing. Facetious, high-spirited and outgoing, like his brothers Bruno and Stéphane, he has a phenomenal feel for the sea. A combination of earnest hard work, attention to detail, sailor's intuition and imagination have won him numerous prizes since 1996.

On November 4th, Loïc Peyron will once again take part in the two-man Jacques Vabre Transat. The race will set off from Le Havre, France, heading for Salvador de Bahia, Brazil. Peyron won the 1999 edition of this race with Franck Proffut on Fujicolor. At the moment, he is fine-tuning his Fujifilm trimaran with crew-mate Loïc Lemignon.
What fragrance are you wearing today?
Nothing today. Sometimes I wear Booster by Lacoste, but only when I am on land.
What was your first fragrance?
My mother's, but unfortunately I can't remember what it was called.
Are there any smells that bring back memories?
Nail polish mixed with the blond tobacco of corked-tipped "Craven" cigarettes.
What smells do you hate?
The smell of canned cat food.
What are your favorite smells?
Above all, the one you get from land after having been at sea for a good bit of time.
Have you ever worn more than one scent at the same time?
No.
What fragrance do you like to smell on someone else?
Shalimar, by Guerlain, my wife's perfume. It was also what a wonderful grandmother I met in my youth wore.
