Aliénor Massenet

There are times when I love being in my own world. When I’m creating, I’m in my glass bubble. I know how to disconnect.

If they try to assign her a box, she will do everything she can to stay away from it. A dyslexic dreamer from a good family, Alienor Massenet forges her personality as she experiences everything from an English boarding school to the streets of New York. Her freedom is as sacred to her as her roots. Her personality is reflected in her perfumes, which embrace contrasts or go so far as to form unlikely alliances, such as sandalwood and pumpkin.
Decidedly independent, she likes to work alone while exploring her favourite ingredients, such as myrrh and labdanum. But she also values the opinions of her colleagues and tends to establish long-lasting working relationships: she has been faithful to Memo since 2007. His activities reflect this benevolence towards others. When his work schedule allows, Alienor runs olfactory workshops for people who have suffered various accidents. She has been with Symrise since 2016, a perfumer who, despite not having studied chemistry, is crazy about molecules and captives, as well as new technologies.
