About Nelly Hachem-Ruiz

Nelly Hachem-Ruiz is a French perfumer of Syrian heritage who was raised in Paris and now works at International Flavors & Fragrances. Her official Jusbox profile presents scent as an artistic medium with the power to preserve memories of people, emotions, and meaningful moments. Growing up in Paris exposed her to the city's artistic culture and way of life, helping to deepen an early passion for perfumery.

Career

Hachem-Ruiz began her professional path as a perfume analyst. Through practical experience, dedication, and creative development, she moved from analyzing compositions to creating them as a perfumer in her own right. Jusbox records that she has collaborated with leading international brands and received recognition for her work before continuing her career at IFF. This analytical beginning gives important context to a practice that combines technical attention with an expressly emotional purpose.

Creative Style & Philosophy

Her stated approach is intimate and sincere. She looks to the people and world around her for moments of joy that can be captured and shared through fragrance. Rather than treating perfume solely as a decorative object, she describes it as a form capable of telling stories, stirring emotions, and recalling deep sensations. Warmth, generosity, energy, determination, and creativity are central qualities in Jusbox's account of both the person and the work.
