Perfumer

Amélie Bourgeois is a French perfumer known for her ability to capture the essence of inspiration behind a fragrance and create compositions that evoke and surprise in equal measure. As a cosmetology student, Bourgeois became fascinated with perfume extracts and began to pursue a career in perfumery. She landed an internship at Cinquième Sens and found a passion and talent for the craft. Bourgeois spent seven years developing new fragrances and refining her personal style at the company before founding her own independent studio, FLAIR.

Bourgeois’ work is strongly rooted in the real scents of the natural world, and her broad experience across the beauty industry allows her to refine with precision and produce sensational compositions across the spectrum. She is particularly known for her ability to evoke memories and emotions through fragrance, drawing on her childhood experiences growing up in France between the Landes beaches and the green fields of Picardy.

Bourgeois has worked with a wide range of brands, including BDK Parfums, Jovoy Paris, Mendittorosa, Frapin, Alexandre.J, and Les Liquides Imaginaires, among others. Some of her most popular fragrances include Rouge Smoking, Les Jeux sont Faits, Paradis Perdu, and Mandarine Sultane. Her work has earned her a reputation as one of the most sought-after young noses in perfumery.
