Marie Salamagne

Marie Salamagne is a renowned perfumer who believes that fragrances can evoke emotions and transport people to another time and place. Born into a family of doctors, Marie has always possessed a keen sense of smell and a natural talent for perfumery. For her, perfumery is not just a craft but an art that requires a fine balance of intuition and creativity.

Marie's creative process is deeply personal and reflective. She immerses herself in her notebooks, where she records her thoughts, ideas, and inspirations. Each notebook serves a specific purpose, from pairing scents with materials to exploring natural and base notes. For Marie, a fragrance is like a painting, where each ingredient creates a unique contrast and shade.

As a perfumer, Marie has worked with some of the world's most prestigious brands, including Yves Saint Laurent, Guerlain, and Giorgio Armani. Her fragrances have become popular worldwide, with Black Opium (Yves Saint Laurent), Aura Mugler (Mugler), and By the Fireplace (Maison Martin Margiela) being among her most celebrated creations.
