AUTHOR – NICOLA BIANCHI

Nicola Bianchi is the perfect artisan to carry out the company’s vision. Long before his internship with the International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) in France, Bianchi was mentored by his father and family, who for generations were masters in the world of essences.

His family’s “olfactory library” included the most exclusive natural and the most innovative aroma chemicals in the field of fine fragrances. With access to these rare, raw materials from all over the world, Bianchi began to memorize the nuances of the ingredients. This early training, in combination with his passion for the craft of perfumery, developed him as an artisan.

“The art of perfumery is a combination of practice, technical knowledge, and creativity—three elements that must be perfectly balanced,” he says. “You do not become a perfumer if you do not have the practice and if you do not know the interactions between the materials. You are not an artist if you do not listen to and follow your inspiration.”
