The career of a visionary perfumer

Bruno Jovanovic , a renowned perfumer whose talent is rooted in the art of perfumery , was born in Paris. His French heritage blends with the Slavic spirit of his parents. After graduating with degrees in physics and chemistry from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, he graduated with honors from the prestigious French perfumery school ISIPCA. His early fascination with fragrances developed at a young age; he remembers his mother's perfume as a way to always have her with him. During his youth in France, he often escaped from high school to lose himself in the perfume department of a nearby department store.

Jovanovic's career path first led him to New York, where he worked for a leading fragrance company. He spent over 20 years splitting his time between New York and Paris, creating some of the world's most celebrated fragrances.
