Sonia Constant is a Master Perfumer working at Givaudan and is the nose behind bestselling fragrances for brands such as Thierry Mugler, Tom Ford, and Narciso Rodriguez. She's also the only female Master Perfumer to have her own fragrance brand - the remarkable Ella K. Ella K puts travel at the centre of its storytelling, with a fictional heroin traversing the globe to capture olfactory landscapes (using Givaudan's ScentTrek technology) and turning them into perfumes. In the season finale of Season 2, I speak with Sonia all about her creative process and how it differs when creating for her own brand in comparison to creating for others. I also share some of my favourite fragrance launches for 2025.You can find out more about Ella K on the brand's website: https://www.ellakparfums.com/enFollow the brand on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellakparfumsparis/Sonia's emotional connection scent is Féminité du Bois by Serge Lutens.The three fragrances I talk about as my favourites of the year are: Amouage Purpose 50, Jil Sander Smoke, and Horace L'etiquette.---This episode of Making Scents Make Sense is sponsored by Kaorium.
