About Nathalie Gracia-Cetto
Career
Nathalie Gracia-Cetto is a French perfumer raised in Grasse. She is described as earning a doctorate in pharmacology before training at the Givaudan perfumery school. Her scientific background is often connected with close attention to materials and olfactory memory.
Creative Style & Philosophy
Her work keeps materials legible while exploring contrast: hardness and softness, dryness and moisture, light and shadow. She can translate the color, surface, temperature, or movement of a nearly scentless natural object into an olfactory structure.
Signature Works
Her credited work includes Burberry Brit, Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Van Cleef & Arpels fragrances, and Diptyque Lilyphéa. Within Les Essences de Diptyque, she is associated with collaborative interpretations of difficult-to-define natural forms.
