Violaine Collas

Violaine Collas is a Paris-born perfumer who was introduced to exceptional ingredients through a family passion for gastronomy. She trained at ISIPCA in Versailles and developed her craft under the guidance of Dominique Ropion and Maurice Roucel. She spent two years in Germany and the United States before joining Symrise, where she worked for twelve years primarily in cosmetic fragrance.

With the Mane group, Collas returned to fine fragrance and established herself as a senior perfumer. Her significant creations include Honour Woman for Amouage, 24 Old Bond Street for Atkinsons, Épices Sultanes for Comptoir Sud Pacifique, Dangerous Complicity for Etat Libre d'Orange, and Pas ce Soir for BDK Parfums.
