Olivia Giacobetti Biography

Olivia Giacobetti is one of the most popular and richest Perfumer who was born on April 9, 1966 in Boulogne-Billancourt, Île-de-France, France. Olivia Giacobetti was born in 1966. The father of Olivia Giacobetti is Francis Giacobetti is an artist. Olivia Giacobetti was first drawn to perfumery when she was nine years old after she watched her first Jean-Paul Rappeneau movie Lovers Like Us, in which Yves Montand played a perfumer.

Giacobetti resides in Paris. There is a child born in 1996.

Among Giacobetti’s best-known creations is En Passant, a subtle but innovative floral fragrance that combines lilac with notes of wheat and cucumber to evoke spring rain on fresh flowers. In The Guide, Turin’s co-author Tania Sanchez calls En Passant “a perfect example of Olivia Giacobetti’s tendency…a fine white-on-white painting.” Launched in 2000 by French niche perfume line Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle, the fragrance was part of a turn toward the recognition of the perfumer behind the scent, with Malle including not only the name of the perfume and brand on his bottles’ labels, but also the “nose” who created the fragrance. In turn, Giacobetti is among the perfumers who have raised the profile and sales of such independent and niche perfume lines, where (with a few exceptions) fashion labels and celebrity licensees previously dominated the perfume market. En Passant was featured in a 2017 exhibit on contemporary perfumery at Somerset House in London.

In March 2003, backed by Japanese cosmetics conglomerate Shiseido, Giacobetti started her own line of perfumes as well as candles and body products, called Iunx. Located in a large boutique at 48–50, rue de l’Université in Paris that Giacobetti developed with her father Francis, the original ambition was to create 60 scents, but the line struggled to find an audience and closed after two years. However, beginning in 2006 Iunx products were made available in a boutique in Hôtel Costes in Paris, where Giacobetti had also created the house signature scent in 1995, one of the first hotels to make such a commission. In 2016, Giacobetti opened a new Iunx boutique at 13, rue de Tournon in Paris.

Giacobetti was recognized early in her career for introducing the concept of the fig in perfumes, especially in the 1994’s”Premier Figuier to L’Artisan Parfumeur and the 1996 Philosykos for Diptyque (the brand’s top-selling) Both scents were influenced by the fig tree. several other lines followed with fig- based scents of their own in the later period into the decade. In Perfumes The Guide, Luca Turin writes, “Premier Figuier was the fragrance that put Olivia Giacobetti on the map, and deservedly so: its fig-leaf note…was an overdue natural in perfumery, and pleasantly jarring.”

Olivia Giacobetti (born 1966) is an French perfumer from France. She owns her own brand known as Iunx as well as designed scents to Diptyque, L’Artisan Parfumeur, Guerlain and Hermes as well as other brands. Her particular style is known for her refined style and for her ingenuity including her unique use of figs in perfumery, which has become a popular note in the late 1990s. She is one of the perfumers who came into prominence in the late 20th and early 21st century trend towards an emphasis on the “nose” behind the scent and distinct lines that emphasized the artists, a shift away from fragrances sold by fashion labels or by celebrities in other areas.

Giacobetti founded her own business, Iskia, in 1990 at the age of 24. Based out of a garden-laboratory located in Paris’s 9th arrondissement, she started taking orders from brands such as L’Artisan Parfumeur, Diptyque, and Hermes.

Giacobetti also received acclaim for her 1999 creation L’Artisan Parfumeur Dzing!, a scent inspired by Paris’s Cirque d’Hiver. Discussing Dzing! in The New York Times, Chandler Burr called the perfume “one of the most innovative, authentically strange scents of the past two decades”, managing to combine diverse aromas of sawdust, circus animals, caramel apples and more into “a comforting, subtly succulent mix.” Burr writes: “Dzing! plays subtle purity against subtle power; it’s fresh without green (a trick that takes serious perfumer talent to pull off), sweet without sugar (ditto), warm and soft like a plank of newly sawed pine still warm from the blade.” Turin gave the perfume five stars in The Guide, saying “Olivia Giacobetti is at her imaginative, humorous best, and Dzing! is a masterpiece.”
