Calice Becker

Calice Asancheyev-Becker (born c. 1964)[1] is a French master perfumer and director of Givaudan Perfumery School.[2] As of 2018 she was president of the International Society of Perfume Creators.[1]

Becker has won the Lifetime Achievement Award from The Fragrance Foundation.[3] Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez's Perfumes: The Guide praised many of Becker's creations, including a five-star rating for Beyond Paradise (2004, a “masterful portrait of a gorgeously fresh, fictional, ideal tropical flower”),[4] Beyond Paradise for Men,[5] and Tommy Girl (1996), calling the latter one of the most important of all time because of its influence.[6] Chandler Burr, perfume critic for The New York Times, wrote of Becker’s 1999 creation for Dior, “It makes me think of a setting sun hitting a gold chain — gold has no scent, but if it did, it would smell like J’Adore.”[7]
