About Paolo Vranjes
Paolo Vranjes is an Italian master perfumer and pharmacist born in Bologna. As the founder of Dr. Vranjes Firenze (now Vranjes Firenze), he is a key figure in the contemporary fragrance scene, celebrated for creating luxurious home fragrances that transform living spaces into sensory experiences.
Career
His fascination with scents began in childhood, captivated by a collection of perfume bottles gathered from around the world by his silk-merchant grandfather. After studying chemistry and pharmacology at the University of Bologna and working as a pharmacist, he relocated to Florence—a city with a profound history of perfumery. In 1983, alongside his wife, he established a small laboratory to blend traditional craftsmanship with scientific research.
Creative Style & Philosophy
Vranjes excels at blending the finest natural essential oils, harmonizing traditional Florentine artisan techniques with a modern scientific approach. Driven by the philosophy that "fragrance captures emotions and evokes memories," he translates his personal travels and beautiful everyday moments into sophisticated scents designed to bring comfort and harmony to our surroundings.
