Sébastien Bouillet
For innovative Lyon-based chocolatier and pâtissier Sébastien Bouillet, 2020 wasn't a bad year, at least not for his business. Local newspaper Le Progrès reports that demand for his creations remained strong in spite of the pandemic.
The secret to his success? Using premium ingredients in unique and artistic ways, and prioritizing passions. For example, he made fashionable chocolate sunglasses and all kinds of objects out of chocolate. But he truly surprised and delighted chocolate lovers with his Rouge à lèvres (lipstick) series when he first developed it several years ago.

Fortunately for Japanese chocolate fans, Sébastien Bouillet fell in love with this country and opened his first stores outside of his native France here in 2008. Since then, he has continued to provide innovative chocolates tailored to the Japanese market.
In 2018, he introduced his "chokola maquillage" at the Salon de Chocolat, to much acclaim:
