How Sophie composes
Sophie favors a transparent structure that reveals each layer in turn. She often begins with a crisp citrus or green opening, then builds a heart of soft florals such as freesia or peony, before grounding the composition with warm woods like cedar or sandalwood. Her technique includes precise modulation of intensity, ensuring that no element dominates the whole. She enjoys experimenting with natural isolates, especially ambergris substitutes and sustainably sourced musk, to add depth without relying on synthetic heaviness. The result feels both refined and approachable.
Philosophy
What drives Sophie
Sophie believes that perfume should act as a quiet conversation between skin and memory. She approaches each brief by first listening to the story the client wants to tell, then selecting raw materials that echo that narrative without overwhelming it. Her work respects the balance between tradition and innovation, allowing classic accords to breathe alongside unexpected accents. She trusts her sense of proportion, letting a single note guide the structure while the surrounding ingredients support it like a subtle backdrop. For Sophie, the most compelling scents emerge when emotion guides composition.
