Delphine Lebeau

Delphine Lebeau is a Senior Perfumer at IFF, based in France.

Raised in Paris near Parc Montsouris, with Spanish and Italian heritage, she initially considered medicine before an article about perfumers redirected her, leading her to study chemistry, work in quality control at Guerlain, and enrol in the Givaudan Roure School of Perfumery in Grasse.

She spent fourteen years at Givaudan, followed by stints at Takasago and Fragrance Resources before joining IFF.

Her sense of smell is closely linked to her sense of touch, a tactile, sensory approach that values simplicity and intentionality, where every element earns its place.

Her credits include Fendi Fan di Fendi and L'Acquarossa, Mauboussin, Les Parfums de Rosine, Kenzo, and Lacoste.
