Sophie Labbé grew up between Paris and the French countryside, exposed early to a wide range of scents from city life to coastal breezes.
After studying chemistry, she trained at ISIPCA under Jean Kerléo, the in-house perfumer at Jean Patou, before spending over two decades at IFF creating fragrances including Bulgari Jasmin Noir, Calvin Klein Beauty, and Estée Lauder Pure White Linen. She now works as a principal perfumer at Firmenich.
