Domitille Michalon joined IFF, where she is now VP Perfumer, after graduating from ISIPCA. She cultivates a lively and salient style, a powerful writing but full of contrasts. Her love for beautiful materials and her distrust of any kind of “olfactory zapping” push her to continue to create on the fringe of fashion, in a sustainable temporality. She hopes that her perfumes will complement and complete the silhouette like a cashmere in which one slips without ever compromising one’s own elegance. She has signed, among others, Flowerbomb for Viktor&Rolf, B. Balenciaga, Celluloid Galbanum for Comme des Garçons, Perfect for Marc Jacobs.

After starting out in Grasse with Robertet, Serge Oldenbourg joined Dragoco (now Symrise) where he worked as a perfumer-creator in Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Holzminden. Always curious, he is as much interested in natural materials as in synthetic or biotechnological products. His knowledge of different cultures on several continents gives him an understanding of markets and trends. His efforts were focused on the development of fragrances for the body care, soap, and detergent sectors. Today, he pursues his passion as a consultant, to follow the technical and creative developments of the perfumery industry.

President of the American Society of Perfumers and VP, Senior Perfumer at Mane, Vincent Kuczinski first entered the perfume industry at the age of 20 working as a lab technician in a perfume company. He’s still fascinated by the magic of perfumery, which for him represents an incredible balance between art and chemistry, an infinite journey in perpetual motion. He looks to nature, music, science, food and people for inspiration. He also likes to explore in the kitchen, composing with different textures and flavors.
