Collection: Philippine Courtière

In 2008, Philippine Courtière made a bold and unconventional leap from the world of law to the art of perfumery. Trained in international law and administration, this sophisticated Parisian followed an inner calling that led her away from courtrooms and into the heart of olfactory creation. With her head in the clouds but feet firmly on the ground, she embraced the world with both refinement and a sense of freedom—traits that would later shape her unique signature as a perfumer.

Her transition was guided by some of the most revered names in the fragrance world—Francis Kurkdjian, Michel Almairac, and Jacques Cavallier—who mentored her during her early creative explorations. An intrepid traveler at heart, Philippine built her craft across global fragrance capitals—Paris, Geneva, and New York—each leaving a distinctive imprint on her evolving style. Particularly influential was New York, a city whose raw energy and unapologetically direct fragrances helped sharpen her modern, intuitive approach to composition.
