VERONIQUE GABAI
With over twenty years of experience in the luxury and beauty industry, Véronique Gabai knows what she's talking about. And if she isn't yet a household name, that doesn't mean you haven't caught a heavenly whiff or two of her fragrances when you're out on the town. Amongst the best-sellers we find DKNY's Be Delicious, Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria, and Armani's Acqua di Gio for Men — and that's just to name a few. Having adopted New York as her home-base, Gabai wasted no time climbing through the ranks, occupying prestigious posts like World President at Estée Lauder Cies and President of the Vera Wang group. In fact, it was during a meeting with the latter's board that she began to hear the siren call of her expanding horizons.
In 2019, Véronique Gabai launched her eponymous fragrance label, inspired by her childhood on the Mediterranean coast. The ethos is based on two values that may at first glance appear contradictory: hedonism and humanism. What this translates into is a marked desire to enchant everyday life, to awaken the senses and ease the mind. Developed with some of the most accomplished noses in the business, Véronique Gabai perfumes are composed of notes that teleport us directly to the Côte d'Azur — mimosa, pine resin, orange flowers, and powdery roses and irises. Made in France from A to Z, in a factory surrounded by poppy fields, the label is dedicated to eco-responsible and ethical manufacturing practices, evident in perks like recyclable and refillable packaging. Guided by her novel vision, the creator has also dreamed up complementary scents called "boosters," perfect for layering with the brand's Signature fragrances, for an added note of originality. And the proverbial cherry on top? A line of luxe body creams and dry oils that will leave skin looking fresh from vacation. Sunny, optimistic balms, for the body and the mind.
