Fabrice Pellegrin

Fabrice Pellegrin was born and raised in Grasse, France, into a family with several generations devoted to perfumery: his father was a perfumer, his grandmother a jasmine picker, and his grandfather a supplier of natural raw materials. He trained alongside experienced perfumers at Robertet and Mane before joining Firmenich in 2008, where he has created numerous fragrances for houses such as Diptyque, Hermès, By Kilian, Jo Malone, Armani Privé, and L'Artisan Parfumeur.

He stood out for his mastery of natural ingredients and his connection to Grasse's perfumery tradition. In 2017 he received the Cosmétique Mag Perfumer of the Year award. A passionate advocate for sharing knowledge, he devoted part of his career to training new generations and developing natural products.

Humble and generous, he summed up his philosophy in "Carpe Diem" and in the belief that knowledge must be shared for perfumery to keep reinventing itself.
