About Florent di Marino
Florent di Marino is a French perfumer raised in the Alps, where nature and landscape became lasting creative references. Public profiles identify him as an ISIPCA-trained perfumer working with Symrise. His international path gives those early references a wider frame, connecting regional memory with the immediacy of contemporary fine fragrance.
Career
After studies in Nice and perfumery training in Paris, he began building his fragrance-house career in 2010. His work has taken him from France to Singapore and China, exposing him to distinct cultures, foods, and scent environments that continue to inform his practice. This movement between markets also made observation central to his method: familiar materials can be re-read through local taste, climate, and daily ritual.
Creative Style & Philosophy
Di Marino places fragrance between science and art, translating concrete impressions of place and food culture into contemporary formulas. For Cola Addict, co-created with Philippine Courtière, he structures the clash of carbonation, citrus peel, rum, spice, and syrup into a vivid gourmand composition. The result illustrates his talent for keeping a recognizable flavor reference playful and legible without flattening it into a literal imitation.
