Nicolas Bonneville

Nicolas Bonneville is a renowned perfumer at Firmenich, one of the world's leading fragrance and flavor companies. Born and raised in France, he discovered his passion for perfumery at the age of 12 during a trip to Grasse. After completing his studies in chemistry, he underwent extensive training in Grasse under the guidance of Jacques Maurel.

Nicolas travels globally to source premium natural ingredients, such as Sambac jasmine from India, bergamot from Italy, and orange blossom from Tunisia. He draws deep inspiration from nature and is an avid gardener, tending to various plants in his private garden in Paris. He is also a lover of pop and street art (inspired by Warhol and Banksy) and a racing enthusiast. He often compares the collaborative excellence required in perfumery to the teamwork seen at the "24 Hours of Le Mans" race.

Throughout his career, Nicolas has developed fragrances for a wide range of prestigious brands, including Givenchy, Jo Malone London, Dries Van Noten, and Avon.
