About Alexandre Freile
Alexandre Freile is a dsm-firmenich perfumer based in Singapore. Public profiles identify ISIPCA training, while official company material documents his participation in creative projects examining Asian olfactory culture. His location places him within a fast-changing regional fragrance landscape where personal perfume and the scenting of everyday spaces increasingly overlap.
Career
Public biographical detail remains limited, but his credited work spans fine fragrance and broader scent applications. At dsm-firmenich’s SENSORIUM Seoul, he was named among the perfumers developing original creations in response to Korea’s evolving relationship with everyday scent. That project highlights a practice attentive not only to ingredients, but also to how scent operates within contemporary habits, interiors, and social settings.
Creative Style & Philosophy
Freile has described a desire to recreate the beauty of nature through fragrance, organizing material contrasts into direct sensory images. In DGAF, cannabis, coffee, tobacco, and the brand-defined Black Balm accord create tension between green sharpness and scorched darkness. The construction is less a naturalistic landscape than a concentrated study of opposing textures, turning vegetal freshness and roasted density into a deliberately provocative signature.
