Symphony of Scent
VP Perfumer Stephen Nilsen’s passion for fragrance is contagious—when he takes in a scent, you can almost see the wheels spinning as his mind materializes stories and possibilities. Pulling out drawers and opening cupboards, he excitedly shares bottles filled with unique and surprising scents. When designing a fragrance, he reaches deep into his imagination and experience, drawing inspiration from art, nature, travel, and even his background in chemical engineering. He likens fragrance creation to a symphony—a delicate balance of notes that come together to create a magical experience.
