Portrait of Laure Shalgian, founder of Why So Scentimental WSSC — fine fragrance consultant and creative strategist, holding a fragrance blotter.

Behind the Studio

Coming from luxury marketing, fine fragrance found me through several doors — a bespoke perfumery atelier in Paris, the retail floor of French niche fragrance boutiques, and three international fragrance houses from Amsterdam to Barcelona, working as a marketing manager across global markets and client portfolios. Each step sharpened the same instinct: The most powerful work happens at the intersection of culture, strategy, and creativity.

WSSC is the space where I pursue that intuition on my own terms — observing what the world is saying, reading the market before it speaks, and translating those insights into trend-led concepts and olfactory narratives.

It's my own way of existing within this industry — with precision, with curiosity, and with the conviction that fragrance, at its very essence, is always about emotion.

Scentimentally yours,

Laure Shalgian.
