Portrait
Daniela Andrier
Perfumer credited by Tom Ford for Tobacco Chocolat, a gourmand amber she presents as a fantasy for the senses, between precious tobacco and dark chocolate.
Career and creations
Originally from Germany, Daniela Andrier arrived in Paris as a teenager. Only after studying philosophy at the Sorbonne did she consider becoming a perfumer, thanks to some pivotal encounters, Memo Paris explains. An award-winning perfumer, she works at Givaudan.
Since childhood she has been fascinated by the nostalgia that scents evoke: for her, a fragrance is always a thread linking past, present and future, and a creation succeeds when it stirs a kind of olfactory déjà vu. The power of an invisible substance, in a world of images, to bring joy, emotion and poetry guides each of her projects, which she sees as an act of freedom.
For Tom Ford, she composed Tobacco Chocolat, which she describes as a fantasy for the senses: a smooth, cognac-like blend of precious tobacco and dark chocolate, with a honey-like gleam. Cocoa, orange, Peru balsam, patchouli and ambroxan complete this gourmand from the amber family.
