Amandine's story

The story

Her work includes fragrances for Van Cleef & Arpels, Yves Saint Laurent, Lancôme, and Thierry Mugler, including Chloé's 2008 signature fragrance, La Nuit Trésor for Lancôme, Aura Mugler, and Voce Viva for Valentino. She is drawn to inspiration from movement, color, and shape, and prefers to let her work speak rather than talk about herself.

In their own words

How Amandine works

Signature

Elegant, modern compositions shaped by a strongly visual imagination — informed by color and movement as much as by raw materials.
