Olaf Larsen describes himself as 100% German through his father and 100% Colombian through his mother — a blend he credits with combining northern pragmatism (sharpened by his training in Industrial Engineering) with South American warmth.
Now based in Dubai working for Eurofragance, he has grown fascinated with the perfumery traditions of the Middle East and Asia. His favorite olfactive family is orientals, which he often pairs with the musky, animalic character of ambergris.
