2019, Shyamala Maisondieu

Shyamala MAISONDIEU, a creative perfumer for Givaudan, grew up wanting to become an astronomer. “But in Malaysia, there are no astronomers!” She decided to travel, broaden her horizons and become a perfumer. And there’s a connection to the stars in more ways than one, because did you know that there are more people who have walked on the moon than master perfumers? For the 2019 edition, the Prix François Coty has dedicated the talent of Shyamala Maisondieu (Givaudan), to whom we owe creations for Liquides Imaginaires, Mugler,  Tom Ford etc..
