- Alice Le Berre Perfumer:
Alice Le Berre is a name that has been making waves in the world of perfumery. Her journey in this aromatic field is both inspiring and filled with remarkable achievements.
Alice's passion for perfumery led her to participate in the 2014 French Perfumers Young Perfumer of the Year competition. The task was to create a fragrance centered around blackcurrant buds, a seemingly simple brief that attracted over 100 young perfumers from 20 countries globally. Alice's creation stood out, and the judges were unanimous in their decision. She was awarded this prestigious prize at the World Perfumery Congress in Deauville, a moment that catapulted her into the spotlight.
One of the most notable outcomes of her win was the creation of "Le Parfum d'Alice" under the Nejma brand. Marie Lise Bischoff, the creator of Nejma, was so taken with Alice's winning composition that she decided to produce it as a stand - alone scent. This fragrance not only bears Alice's name but also features her signature on the box, a testament to her talent and the uniqueness of her creation.
"Le Parfum d'Alice" is a sensory delight. It opens with refreshing notes of rhubarb, blackcurrant, pink grapefruit, and pink pepper, immediately awakening the senses. The heart of the fragrance is a rich bouquet of peony, subtly blended with orange blossom absolute and Turkish rose absolute, complemented by the delicate fruity notes of blackcurrant absolute. The base enriches the scent with Haitian vetiver, labdanum, and the woody notes of cognac barrels, which also pays homage to Alice's roots. Classified as a woody - fruity fragrance, it has an intense, rich, and robust character, suitable for everyday wear while still exuding an air of exoticism.
Alice Le Berre's work in perfumery showcases her ability to blend different elements harmoniously, creating scents that tell a story and evoke emotions. Her contributions have not only added a new and exciting fragrance to the market but have also inspired a new generation of perfumers, solidifying her place as a rising star in the world of perfumery.
