Angeline Poubeau (Leporini)

A leading perfumer of the largest Spanish perfume group company.

Angeline got interested in perfumery during a holiday travel to Egypt when she was 17. She visited a factory for distillation of essential oils from roses, raw materials and fell in love with it. This discovery motivated Angeline to pursue a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and subsequently a master’s degree at ISIPCA.

After graduation she was lucky to be employed as an intern at a perfume house in Grasse famed for its expertise in natural ingredients. Under the guidance of a senior perfumer, Angeline discovered the importance of natural raw materials for creating fragrances and relevance of protection and preservation of this industry, which may pass away soon under the impact of large chemical groups.

Angeline is described by fellow perfumers as “a methodical creator,” and that she accepts their opinion. In fact, if you work methodically and persistently to resolve any issue, ultimately you can to attain great heights.

At one point, Angeline was fascinated by dealing with fragrances for personal care products. According to Angeline those fragrances which are in close contact with the skin for a long time deserve close attention and more detailed study. But this does not interfere with her working in parallel on the most sophisticated and complex briefs for “delicate perfumery”. The accords she creates in complex perfume projects commonly become the inspiration for the scents of creams and personal care products. Angeline believes that subtle delicate scents should surround us in everyday life all the time in order to get maximum pleasure from any routine procedures. And this is one of the main missions of a modern perfumer.

For AURA OF KAZAKHSTAN Angeline created 2 perfume compositions: 7 as a constant and 30 years special edition.
