Marion Costero's childhood was steeped in fragrance — her mother's spice-filled international cooking and summers with her grandmother among the thyme, lavender, and linden of the Hautes-Alpes de Provence.
She first dreamed of becoming a horticultural engineer before pursuing perfumery at ISIPCA. Now a Senior Perfumer at Givaudan who has also worked with IFF, she divides her time between Paris and Brazil, drawing on creations for O Boticário, Natura, and Avon, including O Boticário Egeo Choc and Avon Far Away Beyond.
