Mathilde Bijaoui was born in Paris, carrying a dual heritage of her father's vibrant North African culture and her mother's traditional French upbringing. She inherited both traits, shaping her character and creativity. From a young age, Bijaoui's father introduced her to the world of cooking, where she developed a keen sense of smell while exploring various ingredients at the market. This exposure to different aromas sparked her fascination with scents.

She desires to enchant everyday life by capturing the essence of emotions, memories, and stories through her fragrances. Her collaborations with various brands showcase her ability to understand and reflect each brand's unique identity and essence in her creations.
