Jérôme di Marino is a perfumer at Mane who grew up in Nice, near Grasse, and initially studied science before discovering the perfumer profession.
After a two-year internship as a trainee perfumer at Givaudan and a year as an evaluator at Givenchy Parfums, he joined Takasago's trainee perfumer program, where he was mentored by Francis Kurkdjian, who taught him to deliver a strong message through shorter formulas. His creations include Kenzo World Power, Elie Saab Le Parfum in White, and Burberry Her Elixir de Parfum, and he is especially proud of Mr. Burberry Element, built around mineral, mossy contrasts.

Radiant luminosity and ethereal transparency. Kurkdjian's fragrances glow — they possess an inner light that makes them feel both airy and profound. His palette favors ambroxan, saffron, and delicate florals, composed with a musician's instinct for harmony.
