Karine Vinchon-Spehner
Giving birth to a perfume is the art through which I most instinctively and abundantly express my creativity.
Born in Normandy (France), Karine has been immersed in the world of the countryside and her grandfather's biscuits since her earliest childhood, and is undeniably drawn to the world of fragrances. At the age of 11, she came to the South of France and discovered the scents of mimosa, orange blossom and lavender.
Her passion for scents led her to join the ISIPCA school in 2002.
After two years of apprenticeship at Robertet in Grasse with Christian Rostain, Karine began her career under the watchful eye of Michel Almairac.
"Along with painting, couture and music, perfume gives me constant satisfaction. It allows me to write stories that I enjoy sharing with consumers"
Karine became a junior perfumer in Grasse and developed her love of amber and woody notes. Since then, she has been inspired by her excitement and her great creativity in other fields to create new fragrances.
Karine took the young apprentice perfumer Maxime Philippe under her wing and shared her experience and passion with him until he became a junior perfumer the following year.
