Born far from Grasse and without any connections in the perfume industry, her career trajectory stands out as unconventional. Initially studying pharmacy, she later became fascinated by cosmetic formulation, leading her to enroll at ISIPCA. There, her passion for perfume ignited, prompting a pivotal career shift. After gaining experience at a prominent laboratory in the field, she dedicated her expertise to supporting emerging brands, assisting them in their creative processes.
In 2000, she founded Créassence, where she crafts fragrances for niche brands such as Histoires de Parfums, Olibanum, The Burren Perfumery, Razza Fragrances, Dear Diary, and Maître Parfumeur et Gantier. Additionally, she undertakes olfactory projects for major corporations like BNP, Orange, and the Tour de France.
Her unwavering commitment to promoting and elevating the perfumer-creator profession led her to serve as President of the Société Française des Parfumeurs from 2005 to 2009 and again from 2013 to 2017, now holding the title of Honorary President. In 2011, she was awarded the Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur. As an educator at ISIPCA and the University of Montpellier, she is also a member of Cosmetic Valley and serves as Treasurer of the International Society of Perfume-Creators, where she holds the distinction of being a founding member.
