Givaudan Master Perfumer Daniela Andrier Receives Lifetime Achievement Award
Givaudan Master Perfumer Daniela Andrier has received the 2025 Lifetime Achievement Perfumer Award from the prestigious Fragrance Foundation celebrating her accomplished career and dedication to the art of perfumery.
The distinction was presented on June 5, 2025, in front of an audience of 1,000 industry executives, colleagues, media and notable guests at Lincoln Center in New York City.
“The emotional and creative highs of the evening were heightened to new levels through Daniela Andrier’s mastery of perfumery and storytelling, which were expressed so personally in her presentation. Honouring Daniela with the 2025 Lifetime Achievement Perfumer for her fragrance portfolio and impact in fragrance at Lincoln Center was so appropriate as it is truly an art form. We celebrate the creative artistry and sheer emotion of the artist behind them that inspires and resonates with the consumer,” stated Fragrance Foundation President Linda G. Levy.
“In my work I find inspiration in the unexpected combination of colours and blending the rare with the ordinary. It is essential to avoid clichés and resist the unnecessary urge to be modern. True depth comes from humility – understanding where we come from, appreciating tradition, and recognising the significance of culture in our craft. I am deeply passionate about crafting fragrances, and receiving this prestigious recognition from The Fragrance Foundation USA holds significant meaning for me as a perfumer,” responded Daniela Andrier.
Commencing her academic path studying philosophy at the Sorbonne in Paris, Daniela realised her passion for perfumery. In 1988 she launched her career beginning as an intern at Chanel, soon after joining the revered Roure Perfumery School, which is now part of Givaudan. Today, she continues to bring her talent to the Givaudan creative team as a Master Perfumer. Her most celebrated creations include the ‘Les Infusions’ collection for Prada, MYSLF (in collaboration with Christophe Raynaud and Antoine Maisondieu), and Fleur d’Oranger for Fragonard.
