Sidonie Lancesseur discovered her passion for scent during family vacations in the French countryside, and a meeting at age 12 with a family friend in the perfume industry ignited her ambition to express herself through fragrance.
She studied at ISIPCA before beginning her career at Robertet, mentored by perfumer Michel Almairac, and has since created By Kilian's Straight to Heaven, Frapin's 1270 and L'Humaniste, and Olfactive Studio's Lumière Blanche.
