Career and creations
Mathilde Bijaoui is a perfumer at Mane, the Grasse fragrance company. With Violaine Collas, she created Loverdose Red Kiss for Diesel, a gourmand floral in which orange blossom contrasts with an ambery hazelnut, obtained through an extraction technique exclusive to Mane. For Jean-Louis Scherrer's Pop Delights collection, she imagined an iced tea with notes of orange blossom and green mandarin.
For BDK Parfums, she composed Gris Charnel, an ode to Paris, its urban beauty and understated sensuality, from the endless shades of its grey skies to the softness of warm skin. In the heart, she says, the powdery clarity of orris absolute contrasts with the deep, resinous essential oil of cistus. This play of light and shadow is balanced by a trail of sandalwood, Bourbon vetiver and tonka bean. Fig, tea and cardamom open the composition, classified in the woody family.
