Sonia Constant is a master perfumer and co-founder of ELLA K Parfums. She studied at the prestigious Parisian perfumery school ISIPCA and started her career at the leading fragrance house Givaudan, where she has worked for more than 19 years. Sonia has an impressive list of fragrances to her credit, including Balmain Extatic, Montblanc Emblem, Oscar de la Renta Fresh Vanilla, Burberry Sport for Men and eight fragrances for Fragonard, among others.

Growing up, Sonia didn't know she wanted to be a perfumer, but her love of fragrance made her realize it was the perfect profession for her. Despite her family's misgivings, Sonia pursued her dream and studied for five years, combining her studies at ISIPCA with practical experience at Givaudan. Today, Sonia's talent is undeniable and her extensive list of fragrances speaks for itself.

Sonia's fragrance creations are inspired by her travels and experiences. She always carries a Leica camera and Moleskine notebook with her, recording images and thoughts that inspire her future creations. For Sonia, creating a fragrance is a visual and olfactory experience, drawing inspiration from colours, atmosphere, landscapes and emotions.

In addition to her work at Givaudan, Sonia created her own perfume collection, ELLA K, in 2017. Through ELLA K, Sonia was able to express her personal and philosophical vision of the world. Sonia is passionate about her work and loves to explore new fragrances and ingredients, constantly expanding her knowledge and creative abilities.

Sonia's favorite notes are ambroxan, cashmeran, orange blossom and iris root. Her least favorite smell is vomit and she also dislikes the smell of durian fruit. Sonia's work has earned her recognition in the industry and she remains one of the top perfumers in the world.
