Véronique Nyberg

These two fragrances are also the product of a single imagination: that of the talented perfumer Véronique Nyberg. A look back at her story, her career and her sources of inspiration.

Véronique Nyberg's career

Véronique Nyberg is a woman passionate about art in general. As such, she could have become a painter, a profession she is also particularly fond of. Yet it was toward chemistry that Véronique Nyberg directed her education. At first, she chose the path of organic chemistry before being drawn into perfumery. She then joined IFF as a chemist, firmly intent on making a name for herself within this internationally renowned house. From then on, she made no secret of her ambition to become a perfumer and was trained accordingly by IFF. She discovered the constraints and demands of functional perfumery, a field she mastered for a year before joining the IFF perfumery school in Grasse with the aim of creating fragrances in their own right. There, she learned to work with delicate materials such as jasmine and rose. She also became acquainted with the use of numerous synthetic materials. It was then in New York that she began formulating her first perfumes. Véronique Nyberg has now been part of IFF for 13 years. Having made a name for herself in the field, she has since returned to Paris, where she creates fragrances for the biggest brands.

Véronique Nyberg's inspiration

If Véronique Nyberg loves perfumery so much, she admits it is largely because she sees it as a kind of refuge. The world today is not always a very cheerful place, and a beautiful message of love always carries desire, beauty and joy. Among her many creations, she admits having been particularly marked by the perfume L’Amour Fou by Emmanuel Ungaro. She made it her own fragrance, her signature. This one turns out to be very feminine, sophisticated and delicate, and she fully recognizes herself in it. Likewise, Véronique Nyberg does not hesitate to draw inspiration from her memories or from the places that shape her daily life. For instance, she holds a particular attachment to the iconic Shalimar by Guerlain, which was her grandmother's perfume. Similarly, she has made the Bagatelle gardens in Paris her favorite place.

Véronique Nyberg now has a very wide range of creations to her name. She has notably collaborated with the houses Thierry Mugler, Lancôme, Paco Rabanne and Jimmy Choo. As such, she sometimes creates fragrances that fully match her own sensibility, while others are far removed from her own world. Most often, Véronique Nyberg's name is synonymous with magnetic and sensual elixirs, at once romantic and intoxicating. Yet her creativity knows no limits, and Véronique Nyberg thus manages to excel across many different styles.
