Perfumers
The noses behind our niche fragrances
Anne Flipo
Anne Flipo grew up in northern France, far from Grasse, in a garden full of flowers. At 13 she smelled orange blossom in a friend's courtyard – a note that has stayed with her ever since. After ISIPCA in Versailles and her apprenticeship with Michel Almairac, she joined IFF in 2004 and has been a Master Perfumer there since 2019. She created Lancôme La Vie est Belle, Paco Rabanne Invictus and, together with Carlos Benaïm, YSL Libre. When she was told her path would be hard as a woman, she shrugged it off: she is, as she puts it, quite obstinate. At SNUD you'll find her fragrance for Essential Parfums – right here.
