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.

From her childhood in the French countryside of Charente-Maritime, Sophie Labbé has retained a certain sensitivity, combined with an unconditional love, for natural materials. Her familiarity with the land and her understanding of growth and cultivation, translates into how she uses ingredients and creates her formulas. Sophie can spend endless hours perfecting a formula, assembling the notes piece by piece, until she achieves the desired harmony. A Principal Perfumer with many achievements under her belt, Sophie graduated Valedictorian at ISIPCA, then worked as a perfumer at Givaudan for five years and IFF for 27 years, before joining the Paris Fine Fragrance team at dsm-firmenich in 2019.
