VERONIQUE NYBERG
Véronique's journey into perfumery began with a trainee position in Grasse, where she worked as a raw material quality controller. Although she aspired to become a perfumer, she lacked the necessary training and decided to complete her doctorate first. Fate intervened when Véronique joined the Dutch site of IFF as a chemist. Her subsequent training with IFF opened the doors to operational perfumery, and she was eventually selected to attend IFF's perfume school in Grasse.
During her time at the school, Véronique immersed herself in the world of perfume, learning to extract absolutes and work with raw materials. Her first fragrance was created in New York, where she discovered the joys of perfume creation. Upon returning to Paris, she completed her training under the guidance of renowned perfumer Dominique Ropion.
Véronique Nyberg's approach to perfume creation is driven by her passions for art, cooking, and cultural fusion. A self-taught cook, she experiments with daring combinations of flavors, often drawing inspiration from her work with IFF flavorists. This collaboration has led to her discovery of unconventional pairings, such as the use of sandalwood in lychee harmonies. Art plays a significant role in Véronique's life, with her interests spanning drawing, painting, sculpting, and other creative endeavors. Her appreciation for color and texture combinations, as well as contrasts in perception, influences her work as a perfumer. Véronique's fascination with green notes, likely rooted in her Alpine upbringing, is a signature aspect of her perfumes. She often incorporates vibrant, almost shocking, green top notes into her creations. White flowers, such as orange blossom and jasmine, are also among her favorite materials to work with. Some of her most popular fragrances include Paco Rabanne Invictus, Lancôme Tresor In Love, Mugler Alien Eau Extraordinaire, Yves Rocher Secret d'Essences Neroli, Guess Guess Seductive, Jimmy Choo Jimmy Choo Eau de Toilette, Trussardi Riflesso. Throughout her career, Véronique Nyberg has collaborated with numerous prestigious brands, including Armand Basi, Calvin Klein, Carolina Herrera, Chopard, Davidoff, Jimmy Choo, Lancôme, and Paco Rabanne. Her inspiring work is for J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin. In November 2012 this German brand was restored and returned to the market, with the launch of four fragrances inspired by classic scents of the house, but designed in conjunction with perfumer Veronique Nyberg to appeal to a modern consumer.
