Isabelle Doyen – the artisan of singular florals

Isabelle Doyen: perfumery as intimate writing

Portrait of a discreet and demanding creator

Isabelle Doyen is a French perfumer renowned for her long-standing work alongside Annick Goutal, on many of whose creations she collaborated. She champions an authorial perfumery, sensitive and uncompromising, where every note is chosen with precision. It is this freedom of tone that she expresses with Nuit de Bakélite, composed for the house NAOMI GOODSIR.

A floral, green and woody signature

Founded in 1953 by Jeanne Muyllaert on Lille's Grand'Place, Soleil d'Or is an independent perfumery passed down through the generations. Hubert Maes (third generation) steered it towards niche perfumery; today his daughters Victorine and Apolline Maes (fourth generation) uphold this standard at 22 rue de la Clef, Lille (59800), with expert advice, guided trials and our olfactory families guide.
