Catherine Selig

Catherine Selig knew from an early age she would become a perfumer, inspired by her great-grandfather, the 19th-century Swiss Maitre Gantier Parfumeur Meinrad Hilfiger. At age 10 her father gave her his formula book, and she went on to train at ISIPCA in Versailles with an internship in Grasse, then spent nearly 13 years at Firmenich before joining Takasago in May 2018, where she has created fragrances for GUESS Originals and Harlem Perfume Co.
