Yann Vasnier is a senior perfumer at Givaudan who has brought a global, cosmopolitan sensibility to the houses he works with.
Based in New York, he has created for an eclectic roster of brands including Tom Ford, Estée Lauder, and Diptyque, as well as niche houses like Atelier Cologne. Vasnier's strength lies in his versatility — he moves with equal ease between the clean freshness demanded by American houses and the richer, more complex compositions favored by European niche brands.
