"For me, perfumery is a profession of trust and sharing."
Ane Ayo’s personality is a beautiful mix of European cultures. After her childhood in Spain, she studied in the United Kingdom, stayed in Germany and has been working for many years in France. This multiculturalism taught her to draw inspiration from many sources.
Following an inspiring childhood beside the ocean in Bilbao, Ano initially studied pharmacy – then a newspaper article about the master perfumer Alberto Morillas captivated her. She pursued and MBA in perfume and fashion management before studying at the Grasse Institute of Perfumery. For her, above all else, perfumery is a profession of trust and sharing, and a passion too, which allows her to express her aestheticism and her personality, while opening new doors to the world around her.
Very visual, Ane has a particular interest in painting, fashion, dance, fabrics and colors. She likes to devote her free time to creating collections, perfumes around the same theme. Her flower collection, “The Flower Shop”, features ingredients, including Lavender Memory or Tuberose Saffron. It combines art, design and fragrance. Ane uses the strong ideas of her collections for her creations; this work allows her to divert and carve the materials to reveal their uniqueness.
Generous and passionate, Ane is also very inspired by travel, especially Japan which amazes her through its culture and its gastronomy, as well its art. Menorca, her “holiday island”, occupies a special place in her heart. Blue always evokes her stays on this island full of contradiction and surprise, a world of its own. The sea creates strong emotions for Ane. Ane also enjoys walking the streets of Paris, casually strolling through the bookstores of museums where different subjects mix: design and decoration, photography, fashion or architecture. In her memories, Ane captures a treasure of creativity.
