About Me
Discover Stella Giordanengo's experience.
1994 Degree: Chemical Engineering
Production manager for manufacturing all perfume caps for the group (LVMH: Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy). This allowed me to work closely with brands such as DIOR, KENZO, GIVENCHY, GUERLAIN, etc.
Global perfumery manager at Dupont de Nemours based in Paris, I was the intermediary between bottle designers (e.g., Mansau, Dinand the oldest) and the industrial production of perfume bottles for all brands headquartered in Paris.
Departure for Brazil in 2000 (after declining a promotion at Dupont de Nemours). Worked in a design agency as creative director for perfume and cosmetics development in South America.
Exclusive Consultant for NATURA Brand in Sao Paulo
where I conducted ethnobotanical research to develop new concepts for the Natura brand. During my 6 years in Brazil, I deepened my research in Ayurvedic massages, Hatha yoga, minerals, and shamanism. I was also able to travel 6 months in India to discover Ayurvedic centers and learn about this living traditional medicine at its source.
Departure from Brazil end of 2005
Return to France but with an instructive 3-month journey in the Himalayas, particularly in Tibet and the Dolpo region of Nepal, areas rich in plants and knowledgeable people who know how to connect astrology with plants.
Departure for Morocco in 2006
With the idea of researching the uses of medicinal plants and developing fair trade initiatives around certain plant cooperatives. Other opportunities arose, particularly with plant enthusiasts and scholars from the Moroccan deserts. This allowed us to truly understand what was happening in Morocco around perfume plants, though without success for the fair trade developments initially envisioned.
Return to France in 2009
Creation of SAMA following creative work on fragrances already begun in 2008 in Morocco.
Disappointed by the presence of chemicals in luxury perfumes, I wanted to pursue an independent and personalized career by creating my own perfume company, SAMA. Perfumes designed with natural and traditional essences personally selected from around the world, perfumes of the soul. Also design and production of cosmetics with the same ethics: respect for the skin, the person, the producers, and the earth.
In parallel, I continued to devote myself to the study of human beings. Trained in practices such as Caycedian sophrology, Hatha Yoga, Ayurvedic massages, therapeutic Qi Gong with Dr. Liu Dong, Chinese medicine with Dr. Eric Marié, the holistic approach of the Russian school, training in individual alchemy with Toni Céron, musculoskeletal balancing with Alfred Pfenning. I studied the microbiota and its link with certain pathologies at ECIM with Dr. Donatini, and I am currently studying Chinese pharmacopoeia at Chuzhen and pursuing Higher Training in Chinese Pharmacopoeia with Philippe Sionneau.
Today
Established in the Gorges du Tarn, I share my knowledge through group training and conferences on individual well-being, and I have a practice near Millau to accompany people in search of themselves and how to find inner, physical and psychological well-being on a daily basis. Consultations are available around Aix-en-Provence, Paris, Montpellier and Brussels by contacting me directly.
