One of the most sought-after perfumers in the world, Anne Flipo was a named a Master Perfumer in 2019 by IFF (International Flavors & Fragrances). The elite title is only given to the most experienced and talented perfumers, and to date Flipo has created more than 166 perfumes. She has worked as a perfumer for IFF since 2004 and became Vice President in 2008. Her highlights leave few big names unmentioned, and include Paco Rabanne Lady Million (with Dominique Ropion and Beatrice Piquet), Chloé Love Story, The Herb Garden collection for Jo Malone London, Jimmy Choo Illicit, Fleur d’Oranger and Burberry Brit Rhythm. Her unique creations have enriched the world of fragrances, and she is one of the first women to conquer this typically male domain. Considered one of the best “noses” around, she is widely regarded as a world-renowned fragrance expert.

Born in Picardy, France, her passion for fragrance began in her home garden in the city of Laon and she later revisited her early love of plants and nature in her collection for Jo Malone. The perfumer studied her craft at the prestigious ISIPCA in Versailles, where fragrance legend Michel Almairac helped develop her creativity and talent. After graduating she began working for the IFF, creating some of the world’s best-loved scents with an eloquence of style that stems from her passion for gardens and flowers.
