Karine Vinchon Spehner

Karine Vinchon Spehner was raised in Normandy, where the smell of baking madeleines at her grandfather's biscuit shop and the scent of apple orchards first sparked her curiosity about fragrance. She trained at ISIPCA and upon graduating in 2002 joined Robertet, where she apprenticed under Michel Almairac.

Her work is characterized by a love of natural ingredients and a fondness for ambery, woody, and patchouli-driven compositions. She has created fragrances for Amouage, L'Artisan Parfumeur, and Memo Paris, with notable credits including Amouage Interlude Woman, Amouage Memoir Man, and L'Artisan Parfumeur Batucada.
