Germany Born 1964 Prada

Frequently associated with a poetic, refined style, Andrier often works with iris, rendering it as soft and airy as tulle in scents such as several Prada releases. She is also noted for transforming darker resinous notes into gourmand-leaning accords, as seen in Prada Candy, which combines benzoin and caramel facets. Her work with luminous florals and orange blossom, evoking Mediterranean warmth, appears across creations for brands like Prada and Miu Miu.
