About Me
Khushboo Samtani — Marketing Specialist, Paris

Khushboo Samtani · Paris

360° Marketer.
Luxury at Heart.

I am a driven, multicultural marketing leader with a passion for luxury, fashion, and fragrance. Having lived and worked across India, Spain, and France, I bring an instinctively international mindset — I don't just understand global markets, I've lived inside them.

What sets me apart is the 360° breadth of my marketing experience. Across every role I've held, I have touched every dimension of the discipline — brand strategy, content creation, SEO, influencer marketing, e-commerce, data analytics, campaign management, visual merchandising, and cross-functional team leadership. I don't specialise in one lane; I own the full journey.

My immersion in the fragrance and luxury world began at Bon Parfumeur, where I shaped the brand's digital identity — crafting editorial content, orchestrating influencer campaigns, and managing e-commerce on Shopify. Scent is the most intimate luxury, and working within that space sharpened my instinct for emotionally resonant storytelling.

At Globe Groupe, I stepped into the high-stakes world of Travel Retail across EMEA — luxury's most competitive distribution channel. I led campaigns, built Power BI dashboards, and coordinated with international teams to deliver measurable impact at airports and duty-free environments worldwide.

I am highly adaptable and a rapid learner — I consistently hit the ground running in new roles, absorbing environments, tools, and expectations at speed and excelling well ahead of the curve. I thrive in fast-paced, multicultural settings, lead with empathy, and execute with precision. Currently progressing in French (B1) as part of my commitment to integrating fully into the Parisian professional world — proof, if any were needed, that I never stop learning.
