The Story
It’s the story of a curious bird named Jean-Charles Sommerard, who dreamed of a nest, yet longed to spread his wings in another sky — to reinvent himself in another life, to soar into new encounters.
Why Maie Piou? « That story begins with a tiny fledgling who fell from its nest and landed in our lives. While we cared for this tousled little blackbird, he unknowingly helped us rise above a passing storm. His chirps, his fire, his thirst for freedom filled us with joy— and slowly, he shared that thirst with us. Day after day, his wings beat faster, until he brought us the message we had been waiting for: to break free, to follow our own desires, to fly. And so the Maison Maie Piou was whispered into being by this small winged messenger. »
The Founders


Born between master-roaster grandparents and a distiller father, Jean-Charles Sommerard grew up among flowers, stills, essential oils and perfumes. For him, fragrance is more than an olfactory caress: it is a dialogue that awakens the senses and invites us closer to ourselves. A tender rebel, he loves to surprise, to see us spread our wings and dare. At his side, Szajna Zinenberg, co-founder and Artistic Director of Maie Piou, is both conductor and winged fairy. Guardian of the nest since day one, she orchestrates this enchanted world with lightness, energy and sparkle.
