Karine Dubreuil-Sereni
My formulas have an olfactory legibility, they can be read like a melody on a sheet of music.
Born in Grasse, Karine Dubreuil-Sereni is in love with her city and its architecture, the local gastronomy, the wonderful gardens full of her grandmothers' scents. Karine attended the Roure de Grasse perfumery school in Grasse, where she trained for three years with an appetite and a joy that has never left her.
In 1986, she moved to Paris, an important year for her because she fulfilled her dream of learning to sing. A lyric soprano, Karine took weekly singing lessons, "I couldn't do without them, they let me breathe". Then came the golden years at Sanofi, crazy, full of laughter and interesting projects, then Florasynth and in 1994, Drom, "a great experience as we had to build the Parisian branch from scratch". Then followed ten years at Mane, where her artistic touch would win over Asian consumers: "The delicacy of flowers, a memory of my childhood in the gardens of Grasse".
In 2012, Karine founded her company, Vox Pro- fumi, and created several fragrances for L'Occitane, among others. In 2015, she joined the ranks of the Takasago Fine Fragrance studio, which also crafts her personal creations. His first master, Jean-Louis Sieuzac, taught him to "simplify formulas and dispense with bases". She continues to do so today. A self-confessed fanatic of formulas, she works by olfactory families, in a very structured way. "My formulas have an olfactory readability, they can be read like a melody in a score".
