THE ART OF OLFACTORY STORYTELLING

sonia constant

"Of course, my creations have their own story and are inspired by interrupted moments that I have experienced with emotion. But I don't want to impose anything on anyone. All I do is make a suggestion and invite them to explore. Then they set off, without me. The idea is for them to make my fragrances their own, to make their own discoveries."

Sonia Constant has remained loyal to Givaudan since the beginning of her career, working with the leading brands to develop her own creative personality where instinct and intuition play a key role. The ELLA K adventure has allowed her to free herself from constraints, to be more daring creatively, and to deliver a more philosophical and personal vision of the world.

Curious and passionate, Sonia is constantly nurtured by what she doesn't know.

TRAVEL IS HER INSPIRATION

Always in her bag, a Leica camera and a Moleskine notebook for capturing images or thoughts on the fly, never letting anything slip. As she travels far and wide, a miniature 'headspace' captures unknown scents, which she then sets about analysing, deciphering and decoding. Stored in her memory, they may become the inspiration for or the backbone of one of her next compositions.

Sonia's CAMERA and the Scent Trek®

Faithful companions

Two essential tools for capturing the inspiration of the moment: my camera and Scent Trek®.

Creating a new fragrance

Colours, atmospheres, landscapes and emotions all become the pretext for writing a new olfactory score. Just as painters paint and musicians compose, Sonia Constant gathers ingredients to create fragrances. ELLA K fragrances are fabulous journeys that introduce us to the beauty and diversity of the world. They are olfactory memories, the poetic traces of some of the unique and precious moments experienced by Sonia Constant all over the world.
