The Atelier
From Canvas To Scent
Simone is an artist whose passion for painting led her to develop a unique and instantly recognisable style.
“My art reflects the energy of living beings - what I see, feel and connect with. As a sensitive personality, I perceive life beyond conventional understanding, and this fuels my artistic spirit.”
Simone’s artistic journey took a new dimension when she met the renowned fragrance designer Michael Foerster, the visionary behind iconic creations such as the Davidoff Cool Water brand name. Together, they created a bridge between two artistic worlds: painting and perfumery.
Inspired by Simone’s surrealistic animal portraits and her perception of the inner light and darkness within every living being, each fragrance translates her artistic universe into scent. The perfumes become an olfactory extension of her paintings - emotional, expressive and deeply personal.
Each creation begins with Simone’s artwork, which serves as the starting point for the fragrance concept. From this inspiration, the story, name and olfactory composition emerge, creating a seamless connection between the art, the perfume and the wearer.
With decades of experience in the fragrance industry, Michael Foerster brings a rare ability to transform artistic inspiration into olfactory concepts. For Simone Paris, he developed the creative direction of the fragrances, shaping a collection where art, storytelling and fine perfumery come together in a truly unique sensory experience.
"We do not just wear a scent; we wear a commitment. The art that moves the soul now fuels the movement that saves lives."
Parisian Soul, Global Ethics
Luxury is more beautiful when it is kind.
To house these olfactory masterpieces, we collaborated with design legend Jérôme Dinand. With over 40 years of experience crafting icons for Calvin Klein and Burberry, Dinand brought his expertise to a bottle that feels as profound as the scent within.
Jérôme Dinand is one of the most respected designers in the world of perfume packaging. For Simone Paris, Dinand designed the distinctive bottle and cap, creating a timeless object that reflects both artistic expression and refined craftsmanship.
We have replaced traditional plastics with Bakelite - a sustainable, high-end material that ensures a zero-carbon footprint. Every bottle is a testament to European craftsmanship, produced locally in Paris using cutting-edge relief printing to bring Simone’s animal portraits to life in three-dimensional detail.

Karine Vinchon-Spehner
Perfumer – Robertet
Originally from Normandy, Karine Vinchon-Spehner developed an early sensitivity to scent through the natural landscapes of her childhood. After discovering the aromatic richness of southern France - from mimosa and orange blossom to lavender - she pursued her passion by studying perfumery at ISIPCA.
She later joined Robertet in Grasse, where she refined her craft under the mentorship of master perfumer Michel Almairac.
Karine’s creations are known for their emotional depth and refined balance, often highlighting warm amber and woody notes. For her, perfume is a form of storytelling - a way to express creativity instinctively and share emotions through scent.
