Nicolas Beaulieu

Nicolas Beaulieu is a French perfumer who grew up in a tiny village near Provins, in a house with a garden, farm scents and roses all around. His earliest memories are of damp earth, his mother’s kitchen spices and opera music at home, mingling with the powdery trail of his grandmother’s perfume. A school guidance counsellor introduced him to ISIPCA and, after visiting the school, he realised perfumery was the obvious path for his nose and his curiosity.

After graduating from ISIPCA, he joined IFF’s quality control team in Ireland, then enrolled in the company’s internal perfumery school in the Netherlands, first exploring the highly technical world of functional perfumery before moving into fine fragrance. His career has taken him through the Netherlands, New York, Shanghai and Paris; he became a Vice President Perfumer at IFF and, in 2025, took on the role of Vice-President Senior Perfumer at Symrise Fine Fragrance in Paris.

Beaulieu describes his work as creating “convivial” perfumes: scents meant to be genuinely pleasant to wear, bringing different people together and sparking smiles rather than just making a statement from afar. Equally passionate about natural ingredients and synthetics, he enjoys building bridges between olfactory families, from bright, citrusy structures to textured woods and more sensual accords. A lover of wine, cooking and history, he sees fragrance as an art of sharing pleasure and making the wearer feel deeply at ease in their own skin.
