Renée

Renée is an Australian fragrance brand founded and created by Renée Griffith, whose work as the brand’s perfumer is also documented. Griffith previously worked as a corporate real-estate agent before moving into perfumery. The brand’s origin story traces to a trip to Bali, where she encountered the scent of tuberose; she then studied perfumery, essential oils, and chemistry before creating the line. Renée’s boutique-perfumery identity draws on Griffith’s travel memories and personal experiences. Tuberose is the clearest documented fragrance example in the collection: Griffith formulated it for her wedding after the Bali encounter, and a 2007 profile identified it as the author’s favorite fragrance in the line.
