Vincenzo Arpaia

Born in Naples in 1990, Vincenzo Arpaia has been captivated by fragrances since an early age, driven by an innate curiosity to explore the olfactory nuances of different materials. After graduating in Biology and specialising in Clinical Cosmetology, he decided to turn his passion into his profession. He completed several courses in Italy before being admitted to the prestigious ISIPCA perfumery school in Versailles, Paris. Arpaia collaborates with the leading fragrance houses and renowned perfumers, continuously expanding his experience. Recognised as an emerging talent in creative perfumery, his approach blends innovation with a deep technical knowledge. His debut as a perfumer marked the start of his own style—creating sophisticated, unconventional, high-performance fragrances that evoke curiosity, desire and a sense of belonging. Fascinated by contrasts, he stands out for combining elements that appear to be opposites to create unique olfactory harmonies. A staunch advocate of natural animal raw materials, he feels a particular affinity for grey amber, pure oud, sandalwood and marine-inspired notes, such as ozone and aquatic accords. His command of these complex ingredients allows him to compose bold yet balanced creations, showcasing an unparalleled interpretation of modern perfumery.
