Cristiano Canali is an Italian perfumer who studied Pharmacy before training at ISIPCA in Versailles and building his career at Argeville in the south of France.
His years in Paris brought him into contact with some of the industry's greatest masters, from whom he absorbed different creative approaches and aesthetics. He favors floral notes like magnolia, cassie, and tuberose alongside animal derivatives such as castoreum and ambergris, and counts sandalwood — his personal link between pharmacy and perfumery — among his favorite materials. His work includes Zoologist Perfumes Bee and Masque Milano's Romanza.
