Back to original languageAbout Darrouzet
Perfume evaluator with expertise in olfactory development and perfume project management for the beauty, luxury, and lifestyle sectors.
I support brands in the creation and management of their perfume projects: writing briefs, creative direction, olfactory evaluation, selection of proposals, competitive benchmarking, and coordination between brands, perfumers, and technical partners.
I bring varied and international experience, supported by global and regional projects (US, Europe, LATAM, and Middle East) for both local accounts and recognized, well-established international players.
My approach combines olfactory sensitivity, market understanding, and product vision to develop creations that are coherent, differentiating, and aligned with brand identity.
