Kaiseraugst (Switzerland), Heerlen (Netherlands), August 29, 2024

dsm-firmenich, innovators in nutrition, health, and beauty, proudly welcomes Nicole Mancini as Principal Perfumer to its Fine Fragrance Experience team in North America. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, Nicole began her career in fragrance after graduating Cum Laude from Montclair State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Thereafter, she attended Givaudan School of Perfumery in France, which solidified her passion for the métier. Her studies in psychology have informed and influenced her fragrance creations, by emphasizing the mind-body connection, and the power to touch people's lives in meaningful ways.

After a successful tenure at Givaudan as a perfumer in the Consumer Products division, focusing on air care and personal care brands, she transitioned to the Fine Fragrance team in New York City, specializing in retail, celebrity, and local fine fragrance brands.  Across her extensive career, Nicole has created a variety of iconic and renowned fragrances. Most notably, in 2020, Nicole worked with KKW Fragrance to create “Kylie Nude Lips”, which won the Fragrance Foundation USA’s Fragrance Women’s Popular Award of the Year.

“We are thrilled to welcome Nicole Mancini, who is highly accomplished and respected in the fine fragrance space,” said Robin Mason, President, Fine Fragrance North America. “Her passion for creating delightful and memorable scents will bring a new perspective to our talented roster of perfumers. Nicole’s expertise, alongside our portfolio of best-in-class fragrances, will continue to strengthen dsm-firmenich as a category leader and set the standard for global perfumery trends.”

In her new role as Principal Perfumer at dsm-firmenich, Nicole will be focusing on Fine Fragrance and cross category creations. "As I step into the esteemed halls of dsm-firmenich, I'm humbled by the legacy of excellence that precedes me,” she shares. “Joining this revered team is not just a career move, it's an invitation to elevate the very essence of artistry in fragrance. With every creation, I aspire to weave dreams into reality, crafting scents that transcend time and culture.  Here's to a journey where passion meets precision, and remarkable milestones are achieved."
