Watteau

Wanderlust as a creative compass

Bérénice Watteau knew by age seven that she would become a perfumer, a vocation shaped by an artistic family and the energy of Paris, where she was raised after being born in northern France.

Bérénice's story

The story

She earned a Chemistry degree from Pierre and Marie Curie University before training at ISIPCA, graduating in 2014, and later studying perfume marketing at ESSEC. She joined Puig in Barcelona as a Junior Perfumer in 2018, then moved to dsm-firmenich in 2019, training alongside Principal Perfumers Amandine Clerc Marie and Clément Gavarry and Master Perfumer Martin Koh. Journeys through Ethiopia, India, and Myanmar as a teenager, and a later move to New York, have continued to shape her sensory vocabulary.

In their own words

How Bérénice works

Signature

Compositions built on contrast — warm against cool, subtle against addictive — anchored by a particular attachment to the mineral sensuality of Ambrox.
