Florent di Marino

Born in the French Alps, Florent spent his childhood surrounded by nature and landscapes; he studied in Nice and completed his perfumery training in Paris. His multifaceted experiences throughout his life and his fascination with science and art planted the seeds of his creative journey. When he turned 20, he accidentally discovered fragrance as a new way to express his imagination through a chemical test. From then on, he firmly took the path to becoming a perfumer. Fierce and determined. In 2010, Florent began his career in fragrance houses under the guidance of leaders across different categories and renowned perfumers such as Anne Flipo and Alienor Massenet. He seized the opportunity and proved his talent in both consumer fragrances and fine perfumery. From France to Singapore and now to China, Florent is a world traveller. A whole new culture, food and, of course, new aromas enriched his life (so much so that his wife is Thai) and he absorbs these ideas into his creation process. Florent believes in the harmonious flow between creativity and methodology. In his words: "Writing the formula and being methodical in the approach is as important as being creative. Being creative without method would basically be trying your luck". 2010 - STARTS HIS PERFUMERY CAREER IN PARIS IN THE R&D DEPARTMENT 2012 - JOINS THE ISIPCA PERFUMERY SCHOOL 2015 - JOINS THE IFF PERFUMERY SCHOOL AND WORKS CLOSELY WITH ANNE FLIPO 2017 - MOVES TO SINGAPORE AND SETTLES IN ASIA 2024 - JOINS SYMRISE SHANGHAI
