Brozler is a former head of perfume marketing at Estée Lauder and L’Oreál in Europe, and was a sales director at Crown Perfumery before she opened her own company in 1999. She helped Lyttelton in selecting the ingredients, and then assigned the project to perfumer Norbert Bijaoui, who took care of the actual composition.
