Elise Juarros
Elise Juarros co-founded Coquillete Paris alongside Rose Vaia in 2012, establishing the brand as a distinctive voice in independent perfumery. The Parisian house emerged from a shared creative vision between the two women, who brought their collection to events like Esxence and SMELL FESTIVAL 2016, where their work garnered attention from enthusiasts seeking contemporary niche offerings. Public documentation of Juarros's specific training or career trajectory before Coquillete remains limited, though the brand's refined approach to fragrance suggests a thoughtful, studied foundation in the craft. As one half of the creative engine behind Coquillete, she participates in a relatively rare dynamic in perfumery: a female-founded partnership shaping a niche house's identity from its inception.

How Elise composes
The Coquillete collection, though not publicly documented with individual ingredient breakdowns, reflects an aesthetic aligned with natural materials and classical perfumery structures. The brand's positioning at specialty events like Esxence indicates an orientation toward ingredients and techniques valued by the niche fragrance community. Juarros's co-creative role suggests a balance between Vaia's vision and her own sensibilities, producing fragrances that likely favor subtlety and composition over overt projection.
Philosophy
What drives Elise
The Coquillete Paris approach, under Juarros and Vaia's joint direction, appears rooted in the belief that fragrance should serve as an intimate form of storytelling. The brand's four-fragrance collection suggests an ethos of deliberate restraint over prolific output, prioritizing coherence and emotional resonance over market saturation. Juarros seems drawn to perfumery as a medium for capturing sensory memories and natural associations rather than pursuing trend-driven compositions.
