Mathilde Bijaoui

Mathilde Bijaoui is a perfumer at MANE: the first French group and one of the worldwide leaders of the Fragrance and Flavour industry. She was inspired by perfume at a young age during a visit to the Osmothèque. Now, she is known for a number of famous fragrances such as Etat Libre d’Orange’s Tilda Swinton Like This. "It's as if perfume and smells were imposed on me from my early childhood. I was very attracted to smells, I could smell absolutely everything that came in front of me. It could be in the kitchen, objects. My parents would point out that I could smell everything. And in fact from the moment I realized that perfumery was a profession, I went for it.” - Mathilde Bijaoui
