Show Notes
On this episode of It’s Just Perfume, Steve sits down with Simone Andreoli, perfumer and founder of Simone Andreoli Diario Olfattivo to chat about his pursuit to become a perfumer, starting from a fateful, childhood trip to Grasse which opened his mind to the possibilities of olfactive art. A classical perfume training brought Simone back to Grasse as a young adult and gave him the skills and experience to return to his native Italy to create his own brand.
We learn about Simone's approach to developing new fragrances which he considers to be entries to an olfactive diary. His nomadic spirit and sense of adventure has brought Simone to all corners of the globe and he likes to honor them and recreate them through scent.
Join us as Simone Andreoli talks in depth about several fragrances from his brand including:
- Tulum Junglescape - Sunplosion - Aloha State of Mind - Vicebomb - Oceans of a Midnight Moon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
