Amandine Clerc-Marie

Amandine Clerc-Marie is a French perfumer born in Grasse, the cradle of the French perfume industry. Her mother worked in the perfume industry, so Clerc-Marie was exposed to the world of fragrances from an early age. Later, she attended ISIPCA, a prestigious perfumery school in Versailles, where she studied the art of perfumery and learned about raw materials.

After her studies, Clerc-Marie began her career as a perfumer, working with Michel Almairac for over ten years. In 2011, she joined the fragrance house Firmenich, where she continues to work as a senior perfumer.

Clerc-Marie is known for her ability to create fragrances that are both elegant and modern. Her work includes perfumes for some of the world's most prestigious fashion houses, such as Van Cleef & Arpels, Yves Saint Laurent , Lancôme , and Thierry Mugler .

Her most famous creation is the new Chloé perfume, released in 2008. Other popular works include La Nuit Trésor for Lancôme, Aura Mugler for Mugler, and Voce Viva for Valentino.

Clerc-Marie is a highly visual person and often finds inspiration in movement, colors, and shapes. She also has a strong urge for projects and is always on the move, whether traveling with her family or renovating her home. Her passion for shoes and handbags is well-known, and she refuses to count how many she owns.

Despite her success, Clerc-Marie remains modest and prefers not to talk about herself. For her, the most important thing is the process of creating a perfume, from finding the initial idea to seeing the final product come together.
