Jean-Francois Laporte: RIP
The founder of L'Artisan Parfumeur, one of the pioneer niche perfumery brands, and later the founder of his own name brand (Jean Laporte Paris) and Maître Parfumeur et Gantier (in 1989), is no longer with us. A great perfumer, an iconoclast, a visionary. May his spirit continue to live on in both companies remaining.

Apparently lots of people had diseases they didn't tell us about, judging by the latest crop of deaths I mentioned. It's understandable I guess and not everything needs to be broadcasted.
