Nathalie GESLIN/ Perfumer /
Born in Grasse - the South of France - and her mother from Normandy, in the North, with a great geographical and cultural gap, nothing predestined Nathalie GESLIN to become a Perfumer. It took a simple summer job as Perfume Technician Assistant at NAARDEN, where Nathalie discovered the wonders of scent. The Dutch company kept her after her summer job and transferred her to Paris to assist "Master Perfumers" in the late 80s. From QUEST to ARGEVILLE, and then FLORESSENCE in 2006, Nathalie's curiosity and passion have guided her through a rather unusual career path.
