With over 35 years of experience, Nathalie has been a leading perfumer at major companies like Givaudan (1983-2008) and Symrise (2008-2014). Today, she embarks on a new chapter as an independent perfumer, cherishing the freedom, 360° contact, sincerity, and passion that this role offers. In Montmartre, she established LABscent and set up her independent lab in a former art gallery. Building on her international reputation and landmark perfume creations, Nathalie continues to craft innovative scents for the most exclusive international niche brands in America, Dubai, Russia, Europe, and over 35 other countries.
At the age of 16, Nathalie Feisthauer encountered Opium by Yves Saint-Laurent, a transformative perfume that illuminated her path and solidified her vocation: she was destined to become a perfumer.
The Roure Perfumery School in Grasse, now known as Givaudan, stands as the pinnacle of perfumery education, situated in the heart of the global perfumery capital. This prestigious institution has nurtured some of the finest talents in the industry. In 1983, Nathalie, driven by her passionate and outgoing nature, became the first trainee without a familial background in perfumery to join this esteemed program. At that time, new trainees typically hailed from Grasse, preserving perfumery as a family tradition, almost akin to a guild.
Nathalie’s career soared at the age of 25 when she moved to New York and began working at Estée Lauder. Immersing herself in the American style, energy, and vibrancy, she found this cosmopolitan spirit profoundly enriching, significantly enhancing her artistic creativity. Nathalie’s love for creating fragrances spans a diverse array of brands, from commercial labels to prestigious niche brands like Etat Libre d’Orange, with creations such as Putain des Palaces, and iconic brands like Hermès with Eau des Merveilles, and Cartier with Must for Men.
