The Raconteur founder is perfumer, Craig Andrade. Craig believes that the world does not need another perfume or candle unless you're "making something truly unique that doesn't already exist." Craig is an alumnus of the Grasse Institute of Perfumery. The Raconteur tells the story of Australia's native botanicals, sharing them with the world. Though there are native Australian botanicals the fragrance world already knows, there are many it doesn't, and Craig strives to bring them to the forefront through his fragrances. Craig's process involves connecting with nature, researching history and botany, as well as understanding the science of formulating fragrance molecules. All of The Raconteur perfume serums and EDPs are 100% natural and plant derived as well as being vegan and cruelty free. Craig is also the perfumer behind "world first" Troye Sivan's perfume line.
