Seasoned Senior Head of Multilingual Customer Experience & Service Excellence – Spearhead Global CX Leadership for Europe’s Premier E‑Commerce Fragrance Destination

About brighthush

brighthush is not just an online retailer; it is a movement that redefines how people discover, experience, and celebrate fragrance across Europe. Since its founding in 2024, the brand has grown from a single Parisian storefront into the continent’s largest destination for perfume decants, boasting a curated catalogue of over 1,000 original designer and niche fragrances sourced from more than 200 prestigious houses. Whether customers are sampling a 2 ml vial or indulging in a 30 ml bottle, every product is backed by a rigorous 12‑point quality check performed at our ISO‑certified facility.

With operations spanning 27 European markets and shipping to 26 EU countries, brighthush has generated an annual revenue of over €30 million in 2026. The company’s growth trajectory is nothing short of remarkable: in September 2026, monthly decant sales were 3.2 times higher than in January of the same year, and we proudly ship more than 3 million decants each year – roughly one every ten seconds. In November 2025, brighthush announced a €25 million investment over three years to further accelerate perfume discovery across Europe.
