Naomi Goodsir

Her unusual hats have become her signature. She has been chosen time and again by fashion magazines such as Vogue as a promising new talent. And no, she doesn't limit herself to perfumery, although, as she puts it: "A perfume can be seen as an invisible accessory. It's a personal choice that makes a style statement." What is certain is that her boundless imagination gives her work a distinctive signature, full of charm and a unique perspective. If you've been wondering who she is, let us introduce you to Naomi Goodsir. She is considered one of the hottest names in niche perfumery today. Naomi Goodsir continues to attract attention with her fresh interpretations of the hats, bags and other accessories she designs. Naomi Goodsir is an Australian-born designer working in fashion, accessories and, yes, perfume. After studying fashion design in Sydney and then training as Elsa Schiaparelli's close protégée, she became best known for creating couture headpieces for more than a decade. It's clear that her style is distinctive and unconventional. Naomi collaborates with creative director Renaud Coutaudier to create their fine perfumery universe. Naomi Goodsir's perfumes follow in the tradition of independent perfumery houses. They are elegant and timeless, built around noble raw materials, and made and packaged by hand in Grasse, France, where Naomi lives and works. Naomi Goodsir has collaborated with many respected fashion designers in Australia and around the world. For more than 15 years, while honoring a range of techniques, she has created unique handmade pieces, with beautiful textiles as her priority. But she also isn't afraid to use leather and exotic skins, including Australian crocodile, and incorporate them into bodysuits. You could say this is a tribute to her Australian roots. She is also known for her couture hats, which move with a kind of haughty, rebellious flair, sometimes rock-inspired, often punk, but always chic. Among her many collaborators is Zuri Guetta, a Shenkar graduate and jewelry maker who lives in France. The extraordinary fragrances of Naomi Goodsir are composed in collaboration with Renaud Coutaudier, an independent art director with an artist's soul. Together, they create a natural extension of Naomi's distinctive universe. In their view, a perfume should reflect a unique, personal universe. Naomi calls perfumes "invisible scented accessories," which, she and Coutaudier believe, express the world we inhabit in a beautiful, subtle way. Such is Naomi Goodsir's Or du Cerail.
