Nathalie Gracia-Cetto was born and raised in Grasse, the world's perfume capital, and earned a doctorate in pharmacology before training at the Givaudan Perfumery School.
Over a twenty-year career with the company she collaborated with prestigious houses including Christian Dior and Burberry, mass-market brands like Puma, and niche scents for Morgane le Fay and Van Cleef & Arpels — winning the Fifi Award for Luxe in 2004 for Burberry Brit and the Women's Nouveau Niche award in 2005 for Burberry Brit Red. Music, literature, and photography inform her approach, which she describes through the philosophy of 'le parti pris.'
