Florent di Marino is a perfumer born in the French Alps who studied in Nice and trained in perfumery in Paris, discovering fragrance almost by accident at twenty through a chemical test.
In 2010 he began his career in a fragrance house R&D department, and in 2015 joined the IFF Perfumery School, working closely with Anne Flipo and Aliénor Massenet. He later moved to Singapore and then China, drawing on the cultures, food, and scents of each new home — his wife is Thai — to inform his creative process.
Compositions balanced between rigorous methodology and creative instinct, shaped by a career spanning France, Singapore, and China.
