Aliénor Massenet is a senior perfumer with extensive experience in the fragrance industry. He trained in olfaction and raw materials at Cinquieme Sens before beginning his career at International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) in New York in 1995. In the six years he was at IFF he perfected his technique and worked on his first major project, Intuition for Man by Estee Lauder. After leaving IFF New York, he worked at IFF Paris for twelve years before joining Symrise in 2016.
Massenet is known for its technical mastery, which allows it to create fragrances adapted to the tastes of different markets around the world. His creations have been awarded three times by the Fragrance Foundation Awards. She has worked on fragrances for numerous brands, including Liz Earle, Chloé and MEMO Paris.
Massenet's independent and rebellious spirit has found an ideal way of expression in perfumes. He trained with three of the greatest master perfumers of our time and is passionate about creating scents that evoke deep emotions and memories. Among her favorite smells are the warm smell of skin in the sun, the smell of a newborn, and the powerful smell of the Atlantic Ocean.
Massenet's love for "gourmand" fragrances, especially vanilla, inspires her to explore the multiple possibilities of this olfactory family and invent new combinations. Their approach to fragrance creation is visual, with some ingredients vertical and others horizontal. Conceive fragrances as geometric figures, associating raw materials with colors and emotions.
