Sidonie Grandperret

Sidonie Grandperret grew up in Burgundy, where French passion for craft and sensory pleasure runs as naturally as the region's famous wines. Her path into fragrance, however, began not with flowers but with people. A curiosity about self-expression and what individuals reveal through their choices eventually led her into the world of scent. She trained under senior noses at Symrise Fine Fragrance, developing her craft with what colleagues describe as a radiant quality of respect and gratitude. Today, as a Senior Perfumer at Symrise, Grandperret draws from her Burgundian heritage — a region deeply attuned to artisanal excellence and the art of indulgence. Her artistic sensibility and understanding of human emotion translate into fragrances that feel both intimately personal and broadly resonant.

How Sidonie composes

Grandperret gravitates toward richness, warmth, and gourmand-inspired construction. Her signature approach combines sweet, indulgent notes with a distinctly French sense of refinement — structured yet inviting. She excels at capturing the complexity of desserts: the caramelized edges, the creamy depths, the warmth of vanilla and amber. Her compositions tend toward layered, sophisticated constructions that balance indulgence with elegance. Trained in the Symrise tradition, she brings technical discipline to her artistic vision, creating fragrances that feel both emotionally resonant and expertly crafted.

Philosophy

What drives Sidonie

Grandperret approaches fragrance as emotional communication, believing scent speaks to something primal and personal in everyone. She finds particular inspiration in richness, warmth, and the sensory pleasure of indulgence. Desserts captivate her not merely as sweet smells but as symbols of comfort, celebration, and the warmth of shared moments. Her work explores how these qualities can translate into fragrance that resonates on a deeply human level. Grandperret creates with intention, balancing technical precision with genuine curiosity about how materials interact and what feelings they evoke.
