Jordi's story

The story

He began his career at the family-owned Barcelona company Eurofragance before joining Givaudan in 2010, where he has created for Montblanc, Carolina Herrera, Versace, and Dolce Fiore, earning a reputation as a master of oud and Middle Eastern perfumery through years spent immersed in the region's culture and traditions. His most popular fragrance, Montblanc Explorer, developed with Antoine Maisondieu and Olivier Pescheux, is built on bergamot, vetiver, and patchouli.
