DAPHNE BUGEY

Daphné Bugey, a perfumer at Firmenich, has always known that she was destined to create scents. Her passion for fragrance started at the young age of 10, and since then, nothing has diverted her from this path. According to her, her mantra is to "experience everything, feel everything, so that I can create from a place of freedom."

Daphné is not just a perfumer, but also a free spirit who loves to explore the world around her. She finds joy in kite surfing and paragliding, experiencing the power of the wind and the thrill of flight. She is constantly on the move, traveling across continents to explore nature, spirituality, and contemporary art.

During a one-year sabbatical, Daphné immersed herself in different cultures and experiences, including meditating in Nepal, working on an organic farm in Japan, mastering Ayurveda in India, and studying the native language in Italy. She also spent time at the Fabrica and the Biennale of Contemporary Art in Venice.

Daphné believes that her approach to life and her creations errs on the rational side of excess, and she has no desire to change her ways. Her constant curiosity and appetite for learning have helped her create amazing compositions which are spontaneous, audacious, and free.

Her creations, including Kenzo Amour, Aura Mugler, Scandal and Scandal By Night by Jean Paul Gaultier, and K by Dolce & Gabbana, among others, have been very popular. Her perfumery reflects her exactly - a free spirit who wants to experience everything.
