Nicolas Beaulieu, a well-known perfumer who currently works at International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF), discovered his love for fragrances and the art of perfumery at a young age. Raised in a house with a large garden, he spent his childhood surrounded by the scents of nature and the melodies of opera. His olfactory memories include the enveloping scent of his grandmother's house, filled with the scent of Lanvin's Arpège. Initially, Beaulieu aspired to become an archaeologist, but his journey into the world of perfumery began when he heard about ISIPCA, the French School of Perfumery.

Beaulieu enrolled at ISIPCA, where he immersed himself in the study of perfumery. After graduating, he continued his education at IFF's perfumery school and later joined the Laboratories Monique Remy (LMR), a subsidiary of IFF. During his time at LMR, Beaulieu developed a deep appreciation for natural ingredients and the processes involved in their harvest.

After working in various locations, including the Netherlands, New York and Shanghai, Beaulieu returned to Paris in 2008 to focus on new creations. He has collaborated with numerous prestigious brands such as 4711, Aether, Al-Jazeera Perfumes, Avon, Benetton, Carolina Herrera, Chopard, Christian Louboutin, Clinique, Comme des Garcons and many others.

Some of the most popular perfumes he has composed are Halloween Man X by Halloween, Signorina Misteriosa by Salvatore Ferragamo, La Vie Est Belle Soleil Cristal and La Vie Est Belle Intensément by Lancôme, Invictus Legend by Paco Rabanne and Aromatics in White by Clinique.

Beaulieu's unique approach to perfume creation is characterized by his love of nature and his interest in discovering new, unknown scents. His passion for oenology, the study of wine, influences his work as he finds similarities between the nuances in wine and fragrances. He loves powerful scented traces and short, simple formulas that convey a direct message.

Beaulieu is fascinated by the distillation of new raw materials and the creation of synthetic materials. He believes these undiscovered resources can provide a wealth of fragrant possibilities, inspiring for years to come.
