Needless to say, my journey through the world of fragrance has been nothing short of extraordinary. For the better part of the last three decades, I’ve immersed myself in this captivating universe—not just as a collector, but as someone who truly believes in the transformative power of scent. Perfumes are more than just accessories; they’re time capsules of memory and emotion, capable of connecting us to moments, people, and places in ways few other things can. As an entrepreneur at heart, I’ve always loved creating and building communities. This passion, paired with my love for fragrances, inspired me to embark on a mission in 2009: to help others not only smell great but also make lasting memories. Fragrance is a deeply personal journey, and it’s been a privilege to guide others toward discovering scents that resonate with their unique identities.
But beyond being a perfume curator, I wear many hats. I’m a father, a son, a husband, a brother, and a friend to many. Each of these roles shapes who I am and inspires my work in this field. My love for fragrances is rooted in connection—whether it’s helping someone find their signature scent,
