Dragonfly (2021)

Celine Barel is a talented perfumer currently working for International Flavors and Fragrances (IFF), a global leader in the creation of fragrances and flavors. Known for her ability to design fragrances that evoke intense emotions and connect deeply with consumers, she has distinguished herself in the industry.

Born and raised in Grasse, France, a city iconic to perfumery, Céline had no family ties to the industry. Her fascination with perfumes began as a child, collecting bottles of fragrance. She went on to intern at prestigious brands like Chanel, Dior, and Vuitton, which further fueled her interest in the world of scent.

After completing an olfactory training, she joined IFF in Milan, where she studied raw materials and market products with experts trained at the Roure School. She was then accepted into IFF's Perfumery School program, continuing her training through several creative centers around the world, including the Netherlands, New York, Paris and Grasse.

For 17 years, Celine has been passionate about creating opulent and sensual fragrances, particularly those featuring large white flowers. She has collaborated with many renowned brands such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Avon, Lancôme, Loewe, as well as celebrities such as David Beckham, Jessica Simpson and Shawn Mendes. Her journey, although non-traditional, has been widely recognized and has allowed Celine to achieve her dream career.
