Honorine Blanc

Honorine Blanc, Master Perfumer at Firmenich, melds her Lebanese heritage with a vibrant artistic spirit to craft fragrances that are both unconventional and captivating. Born in Beirut and educated in Paris, she was drawn to perfumery through the influence of Master Perfumer Sophia Grojsman and has since made New York City her creative home. Blanc’s approach is marked by her refusal to adhere to conventional rules, instead embracing the freedom to explore and innovate.

Her fragrances, including Yves Saint Laurent’s *Black Opium* and Juicy Couture’s *Viva la Juicy Gold Couture*, reflect her philosophy of creating "imperfect and addictive" scents. Blanc’s work is characterized by its emotional depth and sensory complexity, achieving a delicate balance between simplicity and rich, intoxicating textures. Her artistry is not merely about perfume but about profound self-expression and exploration.
