Yann Vasnier’s journey into the world of perfumery started with Brittany's garden paths, where he grew up surrounded by a family deeply connected to nature. His fascination with scent took root young, inspired by weekends exploring lush gardens across Europe with his botanist brother. At just ten years old, the spark became a flame when Yann discovered Divine, an intimate perfume boutique in St. Malo, where his senses were first captivated by rare fragrances and the craft of scent.

By his teenage years, Yann had a small but prized fragrance collection, spending his earnings on every new launch and cultivating a particular obsession with Chanel. His path led him to ISIPCA in Versailles, where he immersed himself in the craft, mentored by greats, and sharpened his senses in the fine art of perfume making. Yann’s talent quickly garnered attention at Quest International, where he began making a name for himself before moving to Givaudan.

CREATING FRAGRANCES IS TELLING STORIES

For Yann, fragrance is a form of storytelling—a way to distill a feeling, a memory, a place. His creations are known for their clarity and vibrancy, capturing both the wild beauty of his youth and the refined elegance of his training. There’s a hint of his roots in all his creations, a nod to those early days in Brittany, and an invitation to experience scent as he first did—as something rare, evocative, and profoundly personal.
