In their own words

How Alberto works

Signature

Luminous clarity within complexity. Morillas builds fragrances with an architect's precision — every note serves a structural purpose, yet the result feels spontaneous and alive. He favors transparent accords that let individual materials breathe.

The poet of Hermès

Christine Nagel

Luminous textures and unexpected pairings. Nagel favors compositions that feel at once familiar and surprising — clean, transparent structures enriched with unusual facets that reveal themselves slowly over time.
