Elia Chiche: The Alchemist of Emotions

Elia Chiche perfumer

In the heart of Paris, where cobblestone streets whisper tales of romance and artistry, Elia Chiche crafts fragrances that are more than mere scents—they are stories, emotions, and memories bottled with precision and passion. A French perfumer with a foundation in organic chemistry from the University of Paris-Sud, Elia seamlessly marries scientific rigor with artistic flair. Her journey through the esteemed halls of ISIPCA and experiences at fragrance giants like Givaudan, Symrise, and Robertet have honed her ability to translate complex emotions into olfactory masterpieces. 

Elia's creations are a testament to her belief that fragrances should evoke feelings as vividly as a painter's brushstroke on canvas. Her collaboration with Versatile Paris showcases this ethos. "Croissant Café" envelops you in the comforting aroma of a Parisian morning—freshly baked pastries, rich coffee, and the warmth of sunlit terraces. "God Bless Cola" fizzes with nostalgia, blending caramel sweetness with effervescent spices, reminiscent of carefree youth and laughter-filled afternoons.

Venturing beyond the gourmand, Elia's "Love at First Sight" for Une Nuit Nomade captures the ephemeral beauty of blooming jacaranda trees in Johannesburg. This floral composition weaves passion fruit, lilac, and acacia into a tapestry of romance and longing.

Her artistic pursuits extend into olfactory installations, where she collaborates with contemporary art spaces like the Espace Écureuil Foundation in Toulouse. Here, scent becomes a medium, challenging perceptions and inviting introspection
