Juliette Fournier
Juliette Fournier is a Paris-based perfumer and the co-founder of HART, where she creates all of the house’s fragrances. Her path into scent began with an internship at Pffeifer the Label, a fashion house known for intricate work and sample garments. The role placed her at the meeting point of clothing, craftsmanship and detail, giving her an early appreciation for how fashion can be expressed through composition as much as through cut and texture. She studied at the University of Technology Sydney before moving into the creation of perfume. Today, her practice sits at the centre of HART, informed by music, fashion and the disciplined art of building a fragrance from the ground up. Few public details reveal a conventional laboratory-to-launch route, but Fournier’s profile suggests a hands-on career shaped by curiosity, visual culture and a strong sense of artistic collaboration.

How Juliette composes
Fournier’s public profile does not identify a fixed ingredient list or a single signature accord, so any more specific claim would be premature. Her clearest stylistic influence comes from fashion’s culture of detail, where a garment is judged as a complete composition rather than as an isolated statement. That sensibility suits a perfumer’s work with texture, contrast and pacing, allowing materials to unfold in a deliberate order. Music also plays a central role in her creative life, pointing to an interest in rhythm, resonance and atmosphere. At HART, she works as both co-founder and perfumer, creating the house’s fragrances alongside a collaborator. This hands-on, shared model places her closer to the composition than to a distant brand persona.
Philosophy
What drives Juliette
For Fournier, perfume is part of a larger creative life rather than a separate discipline. Music, fashion and scent inform one another, each offering a different way to shape mood, proportion and memory. Her work at HART appears to be a collective endeavor, with its fragrances created in partnership, suggesting that dialogue plays an essential role in the creative process. She approaches perfumery as both an art and a craft, attentive to the relationships between notes, to the atmosphere a scent creates and to the way an idea can become wearable. The result is a practice that values personality over spectacle: fragrances built to feel considered, expressive and closely connected to the people behind them.
