Perfumer
Joelle Lerioux Patris
Joelle is a perfumer with international experience, graduated from the ISIPCA school in 1998 and later employed by Mane. She has been creating perfumes for more than 20 years with a special touch for high perfumery.
Her long experience in very different markets such as Europe or Asia gives her a wealth of creativity and a sense of play and exploration.
After more than ten years abroad, she returns to France in 2012 for Expressions Parfumées and Fragrances Resources.
Notable among her creations are Colonia Mirra for Acqua Di Parma, Oud and Bergamot Rich Extract for Jo Malone, Rose Ardente and Encens Divin for Givenchy l’Atelier, and La Rose Gothiqu e for LeSnob …
This former dancer—decisive and sharp—who was going to join the famous Alvin Ailey Dance Theater in New York, decides, by a twist of fate, to make olfactory creation her life. She is a unique artist who combines art and perfume from day one.
In 2019, Joelle chooses independence by returning to Grasse. She builds her own laboratory as a true creative studio, along with a beautiful olfactive garden where she invites her clients—or, rather, her “lovers of perfume,” as she likes to call them. She offers an immersive, unfiltered experience, sharing her world and approaching the creative brief with her own style: generous and bold—just like all the raw materials she selects drastically.
This special place allows her to flow into new fragrances to which she likes to add a subtle touch of beautiful fine vintage perfumery.
She chooses “Le Parfumeur Français” as the name for her brand, which makes perfect sense to those who know Joelle, her work, and her personality.
