I'm a scientist who fell in love with creating beautiful things.
Born in France, raised in Guadeloupe, now based in the UK - my journey through different worlds sparked something unexpected. While working in computational toxicology, I found myself dreaming of Ô SABLÉ, my first brand inspired by Caribbean rituals and French elegance. What started as a childhood dream became reality, and then one creation led to another.
Each brand I've launched exists as its own planet in what I call the Exotic Matter Galaxy. Ô SABLÉ orbits alongside Fania B (born from my love of travel and art), Barbe de Rue (urban grooming with attitude), Pamela Rose Garden (modern British skincare), Hamwic Naturals (gender-neutral scents), and The Art Soap (a tribute to master painters).
As both a scientist and an abstract painter, I see beauty in molecular structures and brushstrokes alike. My scientific background means I understand ingredients at their deepest level - not just what they do, but why and how. This isn't about throwing around fancy lab terms; it's about creating products that actually work because I know what I'm doing.
Every formulation starts with research, but it's guided by intuition and a genuine love for the craft. I source ingredients I believe in, work with suppliers who share my values, and create products I genuinely want to use.
What began as one scientist's creative outlet has become a universe of possibilities. Each brand planet has its own identity, its own story, but they all orbit around the same core belief: that personal care should be both intelligent and beautiful, rooted in science but elevated by artistry.
This is Exotic Matter - where my two worlds collide and create something entirely new.
