Amélie Jacquin

About Amélie Jacquin

Amélie Jacquin is a French perfumer at Givaudan, based in Paris. Her maternal family has roots in Grasse, and childhood holidays in the surrounding countryside introduced her to lavender, jasmine, oleander, broom, cistus, and the changing scents of Mediterranean vegetation. Those natural memories remain important, but she places them in dialogue with the pace, colour, and cultural energy of contemporary city life.

Career

After formal studies in perfumery, Jacquin joined Givaudan and developed her career in fine fragrance. Working from Paris has given her access to fashion, art, food, and a constant flow of international influences. Travel expands that palette further: plants, landscapes, people, local cuisines, and unfamiliar combinations become raw material for future compositions. Her portfolio now crosses niche houses, fashion labels, and more widely distributed fragrance projects.

Creative Style & Philosophy

Jacquin looks for an unexpected relationship between materials rather than a predictable harmony. She thinks through colours, textures, and contrasts: brightness against intimacy, juicy effects against polished woods, or a natural impression sharpened by an urban detail. Restaurants, exhibitions, and the youthful energy of Paris can provide a starting point as readily as a flower remembered from Grasse. Technical precision gives the structure stability, while emotion remains the deciding test. She has described perfume creation as deeply personal, almost an offering of a small part of herself to the wearer.
