Karine Dubreuil-Sereni
A Grasse-born master perfumer who brings clarity to flowers, citrus, and skin-like accords.
About Karine Dubreuil-Sereni
Karine Dubreuil-Sereni is a French master perfumer born in Grasse, surrounded by the flowers and distilleries that shaped the region’s olfactory culture. She carries that Mediterranean luminosity into precise contemporary compositions made for fashion, beauty, and independent fragrance houses.
Career
Determined to become a perfumer from childhood, she completed the selective three-year course at the Roure Bertrand Dupont perfumery school. Positions at CMA International, Florasynth, Drom, and Mane gave her a broad international practice before she founded Vox Profumi in 2012. Successes such as *Éclat d’Arpège* and *Gucci Envy Me* established her ability to make a recognizable floral statement feel light, polished, and easy to inhabit.
Creative Style & Philosophy
Dubreuil-Sereni values formulas in which the beauty of the material remains clear. Rose, jasmine, mimosa, iris, and citrus carry memories of Grasse, but she places them beside soft musks, lucid woods, and modern accords rather than treating tradition as a fixed style. Her work often moves from a radiant opening toward a sensual skin-level finish, maintaining definition throughout; even a rich theme such as *Bizarre Brandy* is controlled by proportion rather than by heaviness alone.
Signature Works
- *Éclat d’Arpège* — Lilac and peach blossom expressed as translucent floral light.
- *Gucci Envy Me* — Buoyant fruit and flowers smoothed by an intimate musky trail.
- *Bizarre Brandy* — The warmth of spirits and gourmand density refined into a composed fragrance structure.
