STORY
CORALIE, PROUD MAMMA
VERSATILE is above all my story: as ordinary as it is unique.
That of a young graduate who, during a pandemic, hesitated between looking for a job or creating one.
A specialized background: graduated from the École Supérieure du Parfum in 2019 in Paris, I have carried out around ten experiences in the industry.
I should have built a career in marketing within a large luxury group.
Finally, I changed my mind.
Coralie Frébourg, founder VERSATILE PARIS
IT'S A MATCH !
Two months after the crazy idea of starting our own business, life led us to the FLAIR laboratory, an independent perfume design studio.
We fell in love with the perfumers Amélie Bourgeois, Anne-Sophie Behaghel, Camille Chemardin and Elia Chiche.
Together, we will imagine and compose a simpler, more sensorial, powerful and transparent perfumery.
LAUNCH
After 10 months of hard work on the concept, choosing packaging and suppliers, defining the offer and the concept, Versatile was finally ready to see the light of day.
Our first original collection, composed of 5 Extraits de Parfum, was inspired by moments in life.
