The alchemist of emotions, founder of Maison Shesmou
Creator of olfactory identities
Sarah Merciol is not just a perfumer. She is an architect of the senses, an interpreter of personalities, a translator who transforms invisible emotions into unique perfume compositions. At the helm of Maison Shesmou, this Breton visionary is revisiting the approach to luxury perfumery, rejecting standardised formulations to embrace the art of absolute tailoring.
The quest for excellence
For Sarah Merciol, excellence is not an option – it’s an obsession. Her relentless quest for the noblest raw materials has taken her from the jasmine fields of Grasse to the sandalwood forests of Mysore, from the vanilla plantations of Madagascar to the roses of Damascus. Each ingredient in her compositions is selected with an almost scientific rigour, but combined with the intuition of a true artist.
The visionary
Beyond her exceptional talent as a perfumer, Sarah Merciol is a visionary entrepreneur who is redefining the codes of luxury for the XXIᵉ century. By placing the individual at the centre of creation, by prioritising absolute quality over quantity, by reinventing the craft of excellence in the digital age, she embodies a new approach to luxury – intimate, meaningful and deeply personal.
