France Born 1973 Laboratorio Olfattivo

Known for rich, textured orientals and gourmand-oriental compositions, often built around tonka bean, vanilla and balsamic woods. Creations like Laboratorio Olfattivo Tonkade and Alkemi, as well as Nobile 1942 Anonimo Veneziano, showcase her use of warm resins, spices and creamy gourmand notes contrasted with dry woods and subtle florals.
