Sidonie Grandperret: a perfumer between precision and emotion

Sidonie Grandperret est une parfumeuse française dont le parcours associe rigueur scientifique, expertise des matières premières et sensibilité artistique. Formée à la chimie puis aux arômes et à la parfumerie, elle fait ses premières armes à Grasse chez Haarmann & Reimer, sous la responsabilité de Jean-Claude Ellena, avant de travailler dans le contrôle qualité puis la création.

Aujourd’hui Senior Perfumer chez LUZI, elle développe une écriture olfactive précise et expressive, attentive à la personnalité des matières et à leur évolution sur la peau. Son univers se nourrit de la photographie, de l’architecture, de l’art moderne, de la musique et de son rapport au vin.

Son style associe maîtrise technique, richesse des matières, sens du contraste et recherche d’émotion.

Portrait of Jean-Claude Ellena

Jean-Claude Ellena prefers ellipsis to emphasis. Born in Grasse into a family of perfumers, he joined Antoine Chiris at the age of sixteen, where he learned about raw materials through contact with the old masters.

His olfactory style seeks clarity, movement, and the right emotion. Each formula seems stripped of the superfluous in order to let its central idea breathe. Former exclusive perfumer for Hermès, he approaches his craft with the precision of an artisan and the sensitivity of a writer.

Curious, cultured, and willingly solitary, he finds in landscapes, literature, and everyday gestures the material for understated olfactory narratives.
