Alix Miral
Alix Miral entered the perfume world straight from a chemistry degree, landing her first position at Laboratoire Monique Remy in Grasse. In the scented streets of the French capital she honed her technical skill, learning to balance raw materials under the watchful eye of veteran noses. By 2001 she secured a role with DROM, first in New York and later in Munich, where she began to shape the brand’s fine-fragrance line and its expanding toiletries portfolio. Over the past two decades she earned credit for the niche releases Joorie and Warde. Today she splits her time between laboratory work and mentoring emerging noses, always searching for the next subtle surprise that will linger on skin and hair alike.

The signature
How Alix composes
Alix favors a restrained palette, often beginning with a single natural note and building layers that support rather than dominate. She reaches for transparent musks, soft woods, and delicate florals, letting the chemistry speak. In hair-care projects she pairs volatile top notes with conditioning bases, ensuring the fragrance survives washing while remaining gentle. Her laboratory routine includes frequent blind tests, a habit that keeps personal bias in check. She prefers ingredients that maintain their character over time, such as ambrette seed, cedarwood, and white tea.
Philosophy
What drives Alix
Alix believes that fragrance should act as a quiet companion, revealing itself only when the wearer is ready. She treats each formula as a conversation, starting with a clear intention and listening to how ingredients respond. Memory drives her choices; a single scent from childhood can become the heart of a new composition. She avoids flashy trends, preferring ingredients that age gracefully and reward repeated wear. For her, the most satisfying moment arrives when a scent slips from skin to air and invites a subtle, personal reflection.
