Alexandra’s fascination with nature has been an important source of inspiration for her perfumery work. She enjoys recreating the scents found in nature through fragrances, condensing them and bottling them so others can enjoy them.

Her favorite fragrance is L'heure Bleu de Guerlain, which she admires for its well-structured facets and its extraordinary sillage.
In addition to nature, Alexandra finds inspiration in paintings, as she believes each fragrance or raw material has its own color. She enjoys experimenting with different ingredients, comparing her favorites as if inviting friends to a party. She knows how they will behave together in a formula and how they will interact with the other ingredients. Alexandra’s creative and artistic approach to perfumery has allowed her to create unique and memorable fragrances that continue to delight and inspire consumers around the world.
