I attended Andreas Wilhelm’s workshop at ENHALA in Bucharest in March 2026 on storytelling in the perfumery industry.

This is a fascinating topic for me, as I always ask perfumers and others in the industry: What comes first? The notes or the story?

Until now, Hiram Green, Stephanie Bakouche, Tara Deraskhan, founder of NEH, MR Abdulla Ajmal, CEO of Ajmal Group, and Ștefan Răduț, creative director of Romanian brand Caeleste Parfums, have answered this question…

As an internationally renowned perfumer, Andreas Wilhelm stands for creativity, precision, and reliability when it comes to developing unique fragrance compositions. His expertise goes far beyond classic perfumes: He creates fragrance solutions that elevate brands and products to a new level – from exclusive perfumes and unique room fragrances to artistic scent installations and bespoke fragrance compositions for personal care, detergents, and other categories. – Perfume.Sucks.
