Nina Marie
@ninamarie
I’m a fragrance and beauty lab technician who combines product testing, sensory evaluation, and creative execution.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Fragrance Applications Lab Tech where I collaborate on household air care product development by preparing and formulating application samples (aerosols, candles, wall plug-ins, reeds, gels) for evaluation and testing. I also support fragrance sensory panels, assess fragrance intensity and malodor performance, and run weight loss and stability studies—performing, documenting, and analyzing results to improve product quality and longevity.
Before that, I strengthened my cosmetics product development foundation through an internship at Farmacy Beauty, including competitive market research, fragrance submission evaluation for hero products, and coordinating consumer panel testing to align with user experience, texture, scent, and quality standards. I also build audience-ready content and visuals as a Beauty Content Creator and Editorial Makeup Artist, translating beauty expertise into SEO-focused, high-engagement storytelling and polished, photography-optimized looks.
