Rosendo Mateu began his fragrance career at 15 as an apprentice at the Puig perfumery company in Barcelona, later studying at Master Marcel Carles's Roure School in Grasse, then in Geneva with Arturo Jordi Pey at Firmenich and in Paris with Max Gavarry at IFF.
His collaborations with Antonio Banderas, Carolina Herrera, Paco Rabanne, and Zara produced numerous popular fragrances, and in 2010 he was named Master Perfumer. In 2014 he began developing his own eponymous collection with his son Joan, launching in Spain in late 2015.
