L’Heure Bleue by Guerlain, Giorgio from Beverly Hills, Féminité du Bois by Shiseido or Alien by Thierry Mugler… These names are among the most emblematic of the world of perfumery. They are sometimes modern, timeless, erotic or sensual, but above all they are true legends that Anne Flipo particularly admires. This extraordinary designer has many scented works to her credit, but confides that these are juices that she would have liked to create herself. Nevertheless, the latter can be consoled by observing his extraordinary journey marked by many successes.
The Unexpected Destiny of Anne Flipo
Today, many perfumers come from the Grasse region and have learned this profession from a family tradition. However, this was not the case with Anne Flipo. This renowned perfumer grew up far from Grasse and comes directly from Picardy and its beet plains. Her father ran a candy factory there and it was there that she learned to appreciate the smells of sweets. Anne Flipo explains that she had “time and space, a gastronomic education which is a form of addiction, and a real contact with nature. We were brought up in the smells of a house that lives, she says, the image of happiness, by a mother who awakened our five senses. “What’s more, Anne Flipo confides that she has always had a fascination with spring, gardens that are transformed, the first flowers of the year and the first fruits. These elements are all things that give birth to his creativity. Thus, Anne Flipo began her career at Créations Aromatique, today Symrise, in parallel with her studies at Charabot. She then joined International Flavors and Frangrances (IFF), an international company manufacturing perfumes and considered to be one of the giants in its sector. Moreover, it is still under this great banner that Anne Flipo still works today.

Anne Flipo’s signature
Anne Flipo perceives each new creation as a real challenge. Like the iconic juices that fascinated her very early on, she wants each of her fragrances to be memorable. However, she is not used to creating overly commercial fragrances and wants each one to be very different. The idea is then to make each consumer a unique person. Each of its nectars has many facets, sometimes proving to be romantic, seductive or temperamental. In fact, Anne Flipo uses perfume as a way to express the many facets of her personality. She says she draws her inspiration from her childhood memories or from specific events that marked her life.
Today, the collection of perfumes developed by Anne Flipo is immense and has multiple successes. Among the most famous of them, know that it is to Anne Flipo that we owe Sweet by Lolita Lempicka, Invictus or Lady Million by Paco Rabanne, Manifesto or La Nuit de l’Homme by Yves Saint-Laurent, La Vie est Belle by Lancôme, Jeanne de Lanvin, Soleil de Rochas or even Miss Boucheron from the eponymous house.
