Perfumer
Philippine Courtière
Fearless, Philippine Courtière does not back down from a challenge. With her head in the clouds and her feet on the ground, she explores the world freely and composes with intuition, refinement, and sensitivity. Trained as a lawyer, an intelligent and sophisticated Parisian, she one day felt called to become a perfume creator. During this 180-degree turn in her career, she was guided by renowned perfumers such as Francis Kurkdjian, Michel Almairac, and Jacques Cavallier. An avid traveler, she cut her teeth in Paris, Geneva, and then New York, whose energy and very direct fragrances have always deeply influenced her personal signature. Now dividing her time between Dubai and Paris, she is passionate about Middle Eastern perfumery and satisfies her curiosity about other cultures while creating for prestigious fragrance houses.
