Joseph DeLapp
Joseph 'JK' DeLapp co-founded Rising Phoenix perfumery with his brother Kyle in 2011 while still in medical school in San Diego, though the brand didn't fully launch until 2014. A trained acupuncturist working in Chinese medicine, he blends that background with natural perfumery, sourcing rare, high-quality materials; his grandfather was a confectionery industry figure and his father worked in marketing for brands including Johnson & Johnson.
