Christian Provenzano
If there were a modern-day alchemist…that would be Christian Provenzano. Born in Morroco to Italian parents, his passion was distilled in the lively markets and refined in aromatic European ateliers. His career began unassumingly in Amsterdam, where he was initially employed as a laboratory technician. There, his innate talent for discerning and blending scents was recognized, setting him on a transformative journey through the perfume houses of Europe.
Christian traversed continents with a voracious curiosity for rare and forgotten essences, drawing inspiration from each locale's unique scent palette. Now, he resides in Dubai, which he sees as a privilege that enabled him to master the use of oud oil. He also professes his soft spot for raw materials such as cashmeran, ambroxan, roses, Jasmin Sambac, patchouli, vetiver, and sandalwood.
PERFUMERY AS A JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD
Christian believes that traveling is essential for perfumers. Both pursuits are art forms in their own right, where every new destination or scent combination enriches the creator’s palette, ultimately crafting experiences that linger in memory long after the moment has passed.
