What is your educational background?

I achieved a master IPCA at ISIPCA school, after a chemistry degree.

What is your professional background after ISIPCA?

I spent my first 2 years in the fragrances industry at L’Artisan Parfumeur, then 12 years at drom fragrances. In 2016, I founded my own business as an independent perfumer. I created at the same time a perfume brand: L’Atelier de Mademoiselle.

How did you get the idea for this project and how did you set it up?

I really wanted to get an independent activity to explore all the approaches for scents. I am particularly attracted by special collaborations that make the difference!

What has been the greatest challenge you have overcome in your entrepreneurial adventure?

What is more difficult than « selling yourself »? I overpassed this with the support of professionals! As I say, nothing goes better without the help of others.

What barriers did you encounter and how did you overcome them?

A solo career is quite heavy in many ways: the decisions you make, the time you have, the strategy you design, etc. The best answer is to ask around you! There is always someone who knows someone.

What were the key moments that contributed to the success of this project?

Every step counts! Actually the best way to success is to go step by step and enjoy every milestone.

What advice would you give to successfully manage the creation of a business?

Take every path! The beginning is the best moment to take risks.
