\"Annick-Menardo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Born in Cannes, the famous perfumer Annick Menardo studied organic chemistry as an undergraduate. After she completed perfumery studies at the French perfume academy ISIPCA, she used to work with nose Michel Almairac at Cr\u00e9ations Aromatiques.<\/p>\n

After gaining the experience she needed and learning everything she needed from her great mentor, she was welcomed at Firmenich, where she has been working since 1991. At first, she was deeply influenced by the style of her mentor, which was evident in her early work. She soon found her own signature, though, and it never ceases to impress both perfume critics and perfume fans from all over the world.<\/p>\n

Annick Menardo was an only child and her childhood was full of dreams of becoming a psychiatrist. While pursuing her childhood dream, she studied medicine, biochemistry, and chemistry, but all these subjects eventually opened the doors to the world of perfumery for her. Passionate and perfectionist, she is among the few women ruling the perfume creation world with grace and femininity.<\/p>\n

Among the most amazing projects, Annick Menardo takes part in is sculptor Nobi Shioya\u2019s most ambitious work called \u201c7S\u201d \u2013 the seven deadly sins. The art installation consists of 7 plaster industrial-style weights that are a mix of plaster, water, pigment, fragrance oil, and chemicals. Each \u201csin\u201d had its own fragrance created by a Firmenich perfumer together with the sculptor himself who managed to \u201cmate\u201d the nature of each sin to its perfumer\u2019s creativity.<\/p>\n

Annick Menardo was chosen to work on \u201cAnger\u201d and it was, \u201cEasy to assign\u201d, as Shioya explains, \u201c[\u2026] because Annick Menardo is always angry. She is amazingly talented. [\u2026] she has an almost animal-like sense of smell.\u201d The smell of \u201cAnger\u201d was extremely powerful – it resembled a bizarre and shocking juxtaposition between corrosive chemicals and a failed floral scent.<\/p>\n
