The Art of Perfumery with Isabelle Gellé, in-house perfumer
Les Parfums d'Isabelle is a brand of the New Luxury Code
Isabelle Gellé, a French creative perfumer and perfumologist has been striving to make people rediscover the smells of Nature through classic and elegant perfumes composed of naturals since 2006.
Ahead of her time, she anticipated that consumers would want to return to times when natural ingredients were the only materials used in perfumes. She was one of the first perfumers to sell her collection of perfumes made with naturals online, to offer natural bespoke perfumes services to private clients and to deliver Introduction to perfumery workshops in the UK, leading the way to a form of New Luxury. Over the years, she has become recognised as an expert in making classic and authentic perfumes, using only high quality naturals.
She created her first perfumes at the early age of 10 in New Caledonia, learning the traditions of Monoï from her Tahitian friends, macerating gardenia flowers and other tropical plants in coconut oil and scenting beeswax candles. She draws her inspiration from the classic and natural perfumes of her distant ancestors who were renowned and awards-winning perfumers in France at the end of the 19th century but also from Nature itself, bringing you the experience of rare and ultimate all natural luxury.Since 2013, her perfumes are produced in the Indian Ocean islands because of their luxurious Nature and abundance of aromatic raw materials.

The New Luxury
One source of inspiration for Isabelle
Private individuals and corporate companies commission Les Parfums d'Isabelle to create or recreate the scents of Nature according to the traditions. All the creations respect the safety standards that have evolved over the centuries and comply with regulations. Equally, all are made with ecology and ethics in mind. Recycling everything that can be recycled is part of the social responsibility of the company. Les Parfums d'Isabelle International believes that recycling materials is the New Luxury.
A fervent activist in the protection of Perfume Heritage, Perfume plants and the Art of Perfumery worldwide, Isabelle supports the actions of the Perfume Foundation International who named her Chairperson for the Indian Ocean islands and Southern Africa regions at the beginning of 2014.
As a perfumer, Isabelle has developed a passion for aromatic tropical plants and spices. With her family roots in Mauritius and Madagascar and her early career as a country manager, buying and selling spices and green tea in Africa, she lived and worked in many foreign countries. She likes to label herself 'a travelling nose' because she has experienced so many scent memories throughout her many travels. Her focus is on the Art rather than the Science of Perfumery, creating a bridge between Ancient and Modern scents.
She holds a diploma in aromatherapy from Oxford College and is a qualified UK City and Guilds teacher in the vocational and further education sector. Early 2013, she launched the Perfumery Art School, the first vocational eLearning school teaching the Art of Perfumery to students from over 40 countries worldwide.
