I seem to have a reputation of being some kind of rebel in the perfume world.
I like the idea, and indeed I have a disruptive personality (said my therapist) and subversive ideas. What I love in perfumery is clashing or blending past and present, mixing familiar and strange smells. Also, my story of becoming a perfumer is not an obvious one.
I have never studied in a perfumery school, I am rather self-taught, something that gives me a very particular method and approach to perfumery. It's not better nor worse than the conventional path.
It's just very different. And in this uniqueness lies my originality.

When 12 years ago I entered the perfume industry by becoming an editor at Fragrantica, I was collecting vintage fragrances and looking for something that perfumery had lost: emotion and sensuality.
After learning so much and meeting so many amazing brands and perfumers, the quest hadn't been answered, so I decided to do it myself. After many experiments (and failures) and some perfume workshops in Paris and Grasse, I decided to show what I had concocted to some friends. One of them, perfumer Chris Maurice, gave me a life changing push. He saw the talent and passion in me, and invited me to work with him as an perfumer for C de La Niche. Since then, I launched my own brand in 2019 and until now I have worked for many niche perfume brands around the world. I even won the Art and Olfaction Award twice, besides being a finalist many times already.
