Symrise VP senior perfumer, Alienor Massenet
Alienor Massenet, Senior Perfumer
Chic and eccentric, Alienor Massenet grew up within a family anchored in tradition and respect for age-old rituals. She’s proud of her legacy, but she’s also a liberated and iconoclastic perfumer who has no trouble expressing her boundless creativity. Being a dyslexic and dreamy “girl from a good family”, Alienor Massenet shaped her personality as experiences went by, from an English boarding school to the streets of New York. Her freedom is as sacred to her as her roots. Her personality is reflected in her perfumes, which embrace contrasts or even unexpected alliances. Resolutely independent, she likes to question her favorite ingredients, such as myrrh and labdanum. She however also values the opinion of her peers and likes to build lasting relationships with her collaborators – she has remained loyal to Memo since 2007. This benevolence is reflected in her commitments. Whenever her work schedule allows it, Alienor runs olfactory workshops for people who have suffered life incidents. At Symrise since 2016, and despite claiming to not have received chemistry training, this perfumer is mad about molecules and captives, while also being fascinated by new technologies.
