About Rosine Courage
Rosine Courage is a French perfumer whose technical training and interest in natural materials support work for independent fragrance houses. Her compositions include Nirmal for Laboratorio Olfattivo and Posthume for Son Venïn. She works at Sozio, where she develops fine fragrance while maintaining a close interest in the expressive possibilities of both natural and synthetic materials.
Career
Courage began with chemistry studies and then spent three years at ISIPCA learning raw materials and formulation. She continued at Biolandes, gaining practical knowledge of natural ingredients and environmentally conscious fragrance development, before joining Sozio as a perfumer. Her work with Italian, Norwegian, and other niche brands shows an ability to translate distinct creative directions into complete compositions.
Creative Style & Philosophy
She describes perfumery as a language of expression shaped by daily experience, memory, food, and landscape. The scents of southern France—oleander, pine, cistus, and eucalyptus—are recurring sources of inspiration. Jasmine absolute appeals to her for sensuality and rose absolute for radiance, while Ambroxan offers a skin-like quality. Her approach does not set natural and synthetic materials against each other; it uses each for the complexity, stability, and emotional effect it can contribute.
