The FLAIR-team Anne-Sophie Behaghel and Amélie Bourgeois

French perfumers Amélie Bourgeois and Anne-Sophie Behaghel are the creative forces behind FLAIR, the independent Paris-based studio they co-founded. Their approach is rooted in freedom, experimentation and a desire to move beyond the usual rules of perfumery. Their work brings together Bourgeois’ sense of harmony and nuance with Behaghel’s taste for contrast, dissonance and unexpected turns, resulting in fragrances that feel distinctive and highly individual. Together, they create perfumes that explore new ideas while remaining firmly grounded in the craft of composition. Discover other creations by this duo here in our collection.
