Emilie Bevierre-Coppermann
Émilie Bevierre‑Coppermann grew up in a household where rose, jasmine and lavender drifted from the family vats. At 13 she felt a spark that later guided her toward chemistry, a discipline she mastered before enrolling at ISIPCA. Her first breakthrough arrived at 27, when she crafted L’Eau de Sonia Rykiel, a scent that earned industry applause and opened doors at major houses. She joined Symrise, where she rose to Master Perfumer in 2016 and now leads a tight‑knit creative team. Alongside her four children, she finds time to play piano, a habit that reminds her that fragrance, like music, thrives on balance and contrast. Today she pens scents for Givenchy, O Boticário and Salvatore Ferragamo, blending personal memory with contemporary flair.

How Emilie composes
Émilie favors crisp, structured compositions that balance bright top notes with a warm, lingering base. She often begins with a clear, aromatic opening—citrus, green tea or a sparkling berry—then anchors the piece with woods, amber or subtle musk. Her use of cherry in Egeo Cherry Blast showcases her talent for turning a single fruit into a vibrant, yet sophisticated, focal point. In Play Intense she layers spicy pink pepper with soft florals, demonstrating her skill at weaving contrast without overwhelming the scent. She prefers natural extracts when they offer depth, but she does not shy away from synthetics that add precision.
Philosophy
What drives Emilie
Émilie believes that fragrance speaks the language of desire. She treats each brief as a conversation, listening to the client’s story before translating it into scent. Her work honors the moment a memory first surfaces, then stretches that instant into a lasting impression. She respects the chemistry of ingredients, yet she lets intuition guide the blend, trusting that a well‑placed accord can reveal a hidden emotion. For her, the most rewarding creations are those that invite the wearer to pause, recognize, and celebrate a private feeling.
