About Sylvie

My career has been marked by a dual passion: Perfume and Brands.

For over 25 years, I have developed a comprehensive expertise in the field, from fragrance houses to international brands and entrepreneurship.

As a member of the executive committee, I have notably led the perfume strategies for unique and demanding designers such as Yves Saint Laurent, Jil Sander, and Jean Paul Gaultier. My career has allowed me to cover the entire value chain, from vision to olfactory creation, through to go-to-market and e-business.

Today, I focus on brand management for brands seeking to make their uniqueness a driver of healthy and sustainable growth.

My motto? A brand is a promise; a great brand is a promise kept.
