Women's fragrances from Louise Turner

Louise Turner is a renowned perfumer who has created some of the most successful fragrances for various brands in the industry. Born and raised in the South of England, Turner discovered her love for scents through the wildflowers of her hometown in Kent, particularly honeysuckle and lilac. She initially enrolled in dental school but found herself drawn to perfumery during a temporary job at Quest (now Givaudan) during a break in her studies.

Turner has been with Givaudan since 2000 and has collaborated with brands such as Roberto Cavalli, Thierry Mugler, and Maison Martin Margiela. Her style is joyful, luminous, and uplifting, often inspired by her favorite flowers like orange blossom, jasmine, wisteria, and tuberose. Turner is known for her ability to evoke not just the scent of flowers, but also the texture of their petals and the sense of pleasure they bring.

Some of Turner's notable creations include Boss The Scent For Her Magnetic for Hugo Boss, Chérie for Kate Spade, and Bad Boy Extreme for Carolina Herrera. She is also the creator of the iconic Lazy Sunday Morning for Maison Martin Margiela, which reflects her love for nature and the color white. Turner describes her work for niche brands as providing more freedom to follow her ideas without compromise, whereas commercial projects involve more constraints. She believes that perfume creation is a labor of love that requires passion, confidence, and a "thick skin" to handle daily criticism.
