Creative process-wise, the perfumer adapts her skills to suit that of the brand universe. She elaborates: "If I create a fragrance for Jean Paul Gaultier, Issey Miyake, or Dolce & Gabbana; it's three different universes and three different DNA values, and I'm not going to create the same way. I'm not going to do the same thing. I'm going to adapt like an actress. I have my personality, but I'm going to adapt to every role and every movie I'm going to make. And I'm going to dive into the skin of that brand."

Guerlain's Perle Impériale Millésime 2024, the first of a projected yearly series of limited edition bee bottles for Eid al-Fitr: "Combining savoir-faire and avant-garde, the iconic Bee Bottle is adorned with an elegant lace of pearly-white cabochons designed and enhanced with dazzling crystals by the House of Swarovski. This new creation, with its exclusive powdery trail, invites you on a sensory odyssey between East and West...in its eau de parfum version. As radiant as the crystals adorning the bottle, this exclusive olfactory touch opens with luminous bergamot before revealing in its heart a luscious and enchanting fig accord that unfurls with the sensuality of a pearl. This powdery trail then awakens the spirit of the Orient, embodied by a woody sandalwood base, enhanced by myrrh and leathery notes." 1,605 were made, 125 ml Eau de Parfum plus 30 ml travel spray and funnel, $800.
