Jean-Charles Mignon

Born in Poitiers in the middle of France, Jean-Charles has always been in contact with flowers, as his parents specialised in floristry. His ambition to become a perfumer started when he began studying Chemistry at the University of Poitiers and Le Havre. He then went on to train to become a perfumer at the Grasse Institute of Perfumery, and afterwards he attended the Robertet Perfume School.

After working at the Robertet Group for 8 years, in 2022 Jean-Charles joined CPL Aromas as Senior Perfumer, joining the UK team at Innovation House.

When it comes to sustainability, Jean-Charles agrees that we have to think about the future and the effect global warming is having. He believes a more thoughtful and planet conscious industry is needed.
