Portrait

Sonia Constant

A perfumer at Givaudan since the start of her career, Sonia Constant composed for major brands before founding Ella K, a house that lets her create more freely.

Her fragrances are born of travels and lived moments, captured with her camera and scent-capture tools, then translated into compositions that tell of a place.

Career and creations

According to Ella K Parfums, her own house, Sonia Constant has stayed with Givaudan since the start of her career, and there, working with the biggest brands, shaped a creative personality in which instinct and intuition play a leading role. Ella K frees her from constraints, for greater daring and a more personal vision of the world. The house points out that it is one of the few fragrance houses founded by a woman perfumer.

She never travels without a Leica camera and a Moleskine notebook; on her journeys, a scent-capture device records unfamiliar smells that she later analyses, and which may become the backbone of a fragrance. She says she wants to impose nothing: her creations suggest and invite exploration.

Each fragrance tells of a suspended moment experienced somewhere in the world: Lettre de Pushkar and its saffron, Pluie sur Ha Long, Cri du Kalahari and its baobab, Mélodie de l'Altaï or Camélia K.
