Louise Turner

Louise Turner, an acclaimed perfumer from southern England, found her passion for fragrance amidst the wildflowers of her Kent hometown. Initially studying dentistry, she took a temporary role at Quest (Givaudan) which ignited her fascination with perfumery. Since joining Givaudan in 2000, Turner has crafted remarkable scents for renowned brands like Roberto Cavalli, Thierry Mugler, and Maison Martin Margiela. Her style is described as joyful and luminous, drawing inspiration from flowers such as orange blossom, jasmine, and tuberose.

Turner’s distinctive approach lies in her ability to evoke not just the fragrance but also the texture and emotional depth of flowers. Notable creations like Lazy Sunday Morning for Maison Martin Margiela showcase her talent for translating sensory experiences into perfume. Turner enjoys greater creative freedom with niche brands, where she can explore her vision without the constraints of commercial testing. This freedom allows her to craft fragrances that are both innovative and deeply personal, reflecting her love for nature and her belief in perfume’s power to convey beauty and emotion.
