Consistently described as favoring luminous, solar compositions, Julien often draws on memories of Provence, using familiar notes such as lavender and soft florals and reworking them through contrast. Her portfolio includes bright yet sensual florals (Rihanna Reb’l Fleur, Gardenia & Jasmine of Cashmere) and radiant aquatic-floral structures (Giorgio Armani Ocean di Gioia). In recent years she has specialized in naturals at Givaudan, emphasizing renewable, sustainable ingredients and reimagining classic accords using high-quality natural materials.
