Émilie Coppermann

Emily Copperman is one of the most prominent and respected figures in contemporary perfumery, a master perfumer at the prestigious company Symrise. Her journey into the world of fragrances began with a fateful encounter at the age of 13 with Rochas' "nose" Nicolas Mamoun, who ignited her passion for the art of perfumery. This inspiration led her to study organic chemistry and then to the renowned ISIPCA school, after which Emily's talent blossomed in the creative laboratories of Symrise.

Career and iconic fragrances

Copperman's portfolio is a fascinating journey through the world of fragrances, from bold niche compositions to world-famous hits. Among her iconic creations are the sensual and rebellious Black XS For Her for Paco Rabanne, the exquisite spicy-floral Floriental for Comme des Garçons, and the award-winning Hallucinogenic Pearl for A Lab on Fire. Her talent has also given the world the elegant Beloved Man for Amouage and playful, contemporary fragrances for Givenchy, such as Play For Her.

Signature style and brand collaborations

Emily Copperman's style is often characterized as a masterful use of contrasts: she skillfully combines transparent freshness with deep sensuality, naturalistic accords with fantastical images. This is clearly evident in her work for the niche house The Different Company, where she created an entire collection, including the sunny Limon de Cordoza and the mysterious After Midnight. The geography of her collaborations is incredibly broad: from luxury houses such as Lalique and Carolina Herrera to popular mass-market brands such as Avon, Oriflame, and Faberlic.

Emily Copperman's contribution to perfumery has been recognized with the industry's most prestigious awards. In 2019, her work Hallucinogenic Pearl received the Perfume Extraordinaire Award from The Fragrance Foundation, and in 2018, she was awarded the high honor of the Prix François Coty. Earlier, in 2012, she won the Lalique Prize. These trophies are not just recognition for individual fragrances, but a tribute to her consistent innovation and ability to speak the language of emotions through scents.
