Juliette Karagueuzoglou’s beginnings in perfumery

From an early age, Juliette Karagueuzoglou loved to smell and describe the smells that surrounded her. In fact, she remembers some people more thanks to their smell than their appearance. However, it was at the age of 13 that she discovered the world of perfumery. Indeed, his aunt worked at Christian Dior and spoke to him about Dune, a perfume which was then on the verge of being released. Juliette Karagueuzoglou inquired about the subject and decided to make the creation of perfumes her main concern. She first discovered the nose job by reading books on perfumery and then oriented her education in this direction. She then did many internships with perfumers. Graduated with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry, she entered ISIPCA, a highly reputed higher school of perfumery located in Versailles, in the Yvelines. There, she spent two years as an apprentice at Expressions Parfumées, in Grasse, the world capital of perfumery. This is how she learned to recognize the main raw materials and to describe them. She also owes a lot to her internship supervisor who had her take tests every evening to make her work on her olfactory memory. Indeed, according to her, perfumers basically have a certain sensitivity to odors but above all owe their talent to enormous work. Once she had her diploma, she returned to IFF, one of the world leaders in perfumery.
