Mackenzie Reilly

Mackenzie Reilly is a fine fragrance perfumer at IFF, based in New York.

Born and raised in the city, her path to perfumery ran through international studies in Paris and Rome, a background in the anthropology of scent, and a formative encounter at sixteen with L'Artisan Parfumeur's Dzing!, the fragrance that confirmed her direction.

She joined IFF in 2010 as assistant to the Director of the New York Creative Center and was admitted to IFF's Perfumery School in 2013.

Her approach is minimalist and nature-driven, with a strong affinity for IFF's LMR naturals, particularly orange blossom, ambrette seed, and clean musks.

By her late twenties she had lived and worked across France, Italy, Singapore, and the Netherlands.

Her niche credits include What We Do Is Secret and Maison d'Etto.
