Thayonnan Miranda
Thayonnan Miranda represents a new generation of Brazilian talent reshaping the country's fragrance landscape. Trained at Universidade Paulista in São Paulo, Miranda joined International Flavors & Fragrances as a junior perfumer, marking the beginning of what industry observers recognize as an intentionally cultivated path into fine fragrance creation. The breakthrough arrived with Amyi 5.21, a composition for the Brazilian house Amyi that reimagined a familiar scent profile with unexpected nuance. The fragrance earned Miranda recognition in the Innovators category, signaling that an emerging voice had arrived with something worth noticing. Working within one of the world's most storied fragrance houses, Miranda benefits from access to vast aromatic libraries while maintaining a distinctly personal perspective shaped by Brazilian olfactory traditions and a hands-on appreciation for raw material origins.

How Thayonnan composes
Miranda gravitates toward florals with cultural resonance in Brazilian perfumery. Jasmine and orange blossom feature prominently in stated interests, suggesting comfort with the indolic warmth and solar qualities these materials bring when handled with care. Rose and violet indicate appreciation for classic floral frameworks, while mimosa hints at an interest in powdery, slightly melancholic registers that can anchor compositions against darker base materials. Without access to a full portfolio, the Amyi 5.21 award suggests Miranda possesses the discipline to execute commercial briefs with enough originality to stand apart from predictable regional offerings.
Philosophy
What drives Thayonnan
Miranda approaches scent creation as an extension of botanical study rather than purely laboratory work. The research shared publicly reveals deep engagement with the cultivation history of flowers like jasmine, rose, violet, mimosa, and orange blossom—materials that anchor much of classical perfumery but demand fresh interpretation from each generation of creators. This grounding in provenance and growth conditions suggests a perfumer who believes understanding where ingredients come from matters as much as knowing how they behave in composition. For Miranda, fragrance appears to function as a bridge between agricultural reality and artistic expression.
