  The incredible destiny of Germaine Cellier, the first female “nose” in France.

  A sumptuous graphic novel, which retraces the life of Germaine Cellier and restores all the shine to her work and her talent.
  Since a young age, little Germaine has kept her senses on alert and discovered the world through her sense of smell.
  At twelve years old, during a walk, she discovered “sand carnations” and exclaimed “I love them!” It’s spicy ! pepper ! “. At fifteen, she announced, determined, to her parents “What I would like is to create perfumes!” “. She enrolled at the Scientia school in Auteuil to obtain a chemist’s assistant diploma. Intuitive, visionary and daring, she wasted no time in creating her own fragrances, which would be a small revolution in the world of French perfumery.
