Meet Maëva Rocha, Artistic Director
At Quintessence Paris, we create bespoke olfactory identities and scented objects. Creativity lies at the heart of each project—no two are alike. For the past five years, Maëva, our artistic director and head of the creative division, has embodied this creative energy with passion, while combining rigor, organization, and flexibility—qualities essential to managing every brief. After all, it’s often constraints that spark the strongest ideas. A belief Maëva shares wholeheartedly, describing her role as an “infinite playground,” where she thrives on the variety of projects she sees through from concept to production.
What exactly does the role of Artistic Director at Quintessence Paris involve?
On one hand, Maëva is deeply involved in client projects, particularly the design of tailor-made packaging that enhances the scented objects we create together. The process often begins with a client meeting where ideas, briefs, and mood boards are shared. Maëva and her team then collaborate with the project manager to propose 3D simulations and mockups. Once the viable elements are selected and fine-tuned, a proposal is validated and the final production is launched.
On the other hand, Maëva is also responsible for all visual and digital communication for Quintessence Paris. Her mission is to ensure the agency’s brand image remains consistent, recognizable, and aligned with the diverse expectations of our clients. One of the projects she’s most proud of is the development of the agency’s visual identity.
The Challenges of the Role: Navigating Constraints
Like any profession, Maëva’s role comes with its challenges, which only make it more stimulating. Managing budget, timing, and technical limitations while maintaining excellence is part of her daily life. Yet the most crucial aspect remains ensuring clear communication between the client and the creative team to guarantee the final outcome meets expectations. While keeping up with trends is key for inspiration, Maëva’s goal is always to remain true to the client’s brand image, offering creations that are both distinctive and deeply personal.
A Role That Blends Creativity and Operational Expertise to Bring Your Boldest Ideas to Life
A hotel, a wedding, a jewelry brand, or a ready-to-wear label—at Quintessence Paris, no two creative worlds are alike. And that’s what Maëva loves most about her role, which she considers a true calling. You too can be part of this fragrant universe. Don’t hesitate to contact us and discover how our team combines creativity and operational know-how to bring your most daring ideas to life.
