Perfumes de Manuel Attardi

“Since I was a child, classical art and mythology have captivated my imagination. This fascination led me to graduate in Art & Design at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, where I immersed myself in the artistic heritage that continues to inspire me to this day.”

“I’ve always been eclectic, exploring a wide range of creative and professional interests. My career began in the avant-garde theatre scene, acting with Italian companies such as Animanera (Milan) and Ricci-Forte (Rome). Later, my interest in anatomy and the human form led me to work as a tattoo artist and body piercer, as well as to train as a professional yoga teacher. My curiosity about biology even prompted me to start studies in Natural Sciences.”

“For 17 years, I devoted myself to the fashion industry, working as a pattern maker for prestigious maisons such as Moncler, Alexander McQueen, JordanLuca and Anteprima. Fashion taught me the art of precision and the pursuit of excellence—pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation within the world of luxury.”

“Recently, I chose to channel this experience in a new direction: perfumery. My journey began with Release, a perfume distribution company in Italy. I deepened my knowledge by studying perfumery at the Grasse Institute of Perfumery and later at the Italian Perfumery Institute in Milan. To perfect my craft, I trained with perfumer Miguel Matos.”

“Meeting Chris Maurice was a crucial moment in my career. His belief in my potential allowed me to collaborate with his laboratory, C de La Niche. Today, after years of learning, experimentation and dedication, I can proudly call myself a perfumer.”

“The world of perfumery lets me combine my passions for art, anatomy and storytelling, translating them into fragrances that resonate on a deeply human level.”
