ABOUT ME

SMELL IS MY ULTIMATE PASSION.

TEN YEARS AGO THIS FRAGRANT JOURNEY STARTED, AND I RETRACTED INTO A HIDDEN LAB IN THE WOODS. MONTHS AND YEARS OF SOLITUDE  FOLLOWED, DIVING INTO THE MYSTERY OF SCENT. I STARTED ACQUIRING RAW MATERIALS, OILS, EXTRACTS, RESINS, ABSOLUTES. 

TO GET TO KNOW THEM, LIKE IN FRIENDSHIP, YOU NEED TIME. TIME WITH EACH OTHER. TIME TO EXPERIMENT, TIME TO UNDERSTAND, TO DEDICATE, TO APPRECIATE, TO FALL IN LOVE. BUT FALLING IN LOVE IS EASY, ESPECIALLY WITH SOMETHING THAT BEAUTIFUL. UNDERSTANDING THE DYNAMICS OF INTERACTION, GOING THROUGH DIFFICULT TIMES, AND KEEPING LOVE ALIVE IS WHERE IT GETS TOUGH.

BECAUSE AS EASY AS IT IS TO APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY OF A PERFUME, AS COMPLICATED IT IS TO COMPOSE IT. AND GET IT RIGHT. AS EASY AS IT IS TO LISTEN TO A BEAUTIFUL PIANO CONCERT, AS COMPLICATED IT IS TO PLAY THAT PIANO. YEARS AND YEARS OF PRACTICE HAVE BEEN NECESSARY,  PATIENCE, DEDICATION, FAITH, TRUST. BECAUSE IN THE CONCERT, JUST LIKE IN PERFUMERY - YOU MAKE ONE MISTAKE, HIT THE WRONG NOTE ONCE, AND EVERYONE WILL NOTICE. BECAUSE YOU HEAR IT, SMELL IT, IMMEDIATELY. AND IN THE PROCESS OF LEARNING, YOU WILL SOMETIMES LOOSE THAT FAITH, BE DESILLUSIONED, BE LONELY. BUT I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU FALL, YOUR MISSION IS TO GET UP AND TRY AGAIN.

SO I STARTED REBUILDING CRAZY TECH CHEM MACHINERY FROM USED BROKEN PARTS OF EBAY, AND AFTER YEARS OF SOLDERING AND SERIOUS HEADACHES I GOT THEM RUNNING, THOUGH IT TOOK MANY MORE YEARS TO FINETUNE THEM AND GET DECENT RESULTS. AND HAVE NOW BEEN COLLECTING MOLECULAR SPECTRAL FINGERPRINTS OF EVERYTHING I CAN GET A HOLD OF, ANALYZING ESSENTIAL OILS, MOLECULES, MY FAVORITE VINTAGE PERFUMES, AND EVEN THE SMELL THE INSIDE OF A PIANO. I STARTED DIVING INTO CHEMISTRY. BUILDING DATABASES, STUDYING EVAPORATION CURVES, LEARNING MOLECULAR STRUCTURES. AND STILL I KEEP LEARNING, FAR FROM UNDERSTANDING EVERYTHING.

BECAUSE EVERY FRAGRANCE IS A DISTILLED MYSTERY. FOR ME IT SIGNIFIES THE RESULT OF INSPIRATION, IMAGINATION, INTUITION, MADNESS, LUCID DREAMING AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS. BUT ALSO ANALYTICAL RESEARCH, KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE, COUNTLESS TRIALS, FOLLOWED BY YEARS OF MODIFYING, FINETUNING AND MACERATING.

PERSEVERANCE.

LOVE.

BECAUSE I LOVE TO DISCOVER. TO DISRUPT. TO NOT ADHERE TO CONVENTIONS. TO RISK. TO ACCEPT NO GIVING UP. I ONLY SUBMIT TO CREATIVITY AND LOVE. AND THE LAW, WHERE IT IS INEVITABLE.

LET ME INVITE YOU TO DICOVER WITH ME. LET ME INVITE YOU TO JOIN THIS FRAGRANT JOURNEY. BECAUSE ONCE YOU START TO UNDERSTAND THE SCIENCE BEHIND OUR SENSE OF SMELL AND ITS BEAUTY, YOU COULD GET AS ADDICTED AS I AM.

I BELIEVE IN SHOWING YOU THE SECRETS OF OUR OLFACTORY WORLD. IN BREAKING BOUNDARIES. IN TRUSTING MY INSTINCTS. IN SEEKING ADVENTURE. I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THE SAME. COME WITH ME AND LEARN HOW TO EMPOWER YOUR SENSE OF SMELL.

IF YOU LIKE OUR PRODUCTS AND WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE MYSTERY BEHIND ANALYZING, COMPOSING AND COMPOUNDING, I AM OFFERING BEGINNERS COURSES, WORKSHOPS OR EVEN ADVANCED ANALYTICAL MASTERCLASSES. GET IN TOUCH.

BUT MOST OF ALL: LOVE YOUR NOSE. SHE IS THE SOURCE OF SUCH WONDER.
