About Manon Coen
Manon Coen is a perfumer based in Grasse, France. She gained experience with the Robertet Group and now works at Expressions Parfumées.
Career
She describes her studies at the École Supérieure du Parfum in her own profile. Within the fragrance industry, she has worked with both raw materials and fragrance composition. When announcing her move from Robertet, she thanked Isabelle Sinigaglia for her training as a raw-materials perfumer and Michel Almairac for his guidance in composition. Her account describes these experiences as having shaped her sensitivity and creative approach.
Creative Style & Philosophy
Her work includes sweet compositions recalling nuts and desserts as well as greener floral fragrances. She combines creamy pistachio impressions with fruit and flowers in one composition, while another uses jasmine and tuberose to picture a garden encountered on a journey. Together these two works suggest an interest in describing the textures of both food and flowers through different aromatic combinations.
Signature Works
- *Golden Pistachio*: a Sensatio Paris fragrance inspired by pistachio praline, bringing together fruit, ice cream, pistachio and tonka bean.
- *Hypnotic Flower*: a floral-green composition for the same brand. Flowers encountered on travels in Asia are pictured through sambac jasmine, tuberose, rose and other notes.
