Béatrice's story

The story

Her portfolio included Bulgari Petits et Mamans, Aroma Tonic for Lancôme (with Alain Astori), and Emporio Armani Night Him (with Yves Cassar), alongside work for Salvatore Ferragamo, Benetton, Oscar de la Renta, Christian Dior, Guerlain, and Hugo Boss. She died in 2010 after a prolonged illness, remembered for her humility as much as her craft.
