ANE AYO

Ane Ayo is a perfumer based in Paris, France, with a multicultural background that has inspired her creative approach to perfumery. She grew up in Bilbao, Spain, and later studied in the United Kingdom before working in France, which taught her to draw inspiration from many sources. Initially, Ane studied pharmacy before discovering her passion for perfumery. A newspaper article about the master perfumer Alberto Morillas captivated her, and she pursued an MBA in perfume and fashion management before studying at the Grasse Institute of Perfumery. For Ane, perfumery is a profession of trust and sharing, allowing her to express her aestheticism and personality while opening new doors to the world around her. Travel inspires Ane's work, and she is particularly fascinated by Japan for its culture, gastronomy, and art. Her "holiday island," Menorca, also holds a special place in her heart. She also has a great interest in painting, fashion, dance, fabrics, and colors, and likes to devote her free time to creating perfumes around the same theme. Her flower collection, "The Flower Shop," features ingredients like Lavender Memory or Tuberose Saffron, combining art, design, and fragrance. Ane Ayo works for Firmenich, a fragrance company that collaborates with many brands and designers, and has also worked with Mane. In her career, she has created several popular fragrances, including A Drop d'Issey for Issey Miyake, Scandal Le Parfum for Jean Paul Gaultier, and Voile d'Ocre for Yves Rocher, among others.
