Daniel Pescio

Daniel Pescio is an independent perfumer who also seeks to introduce the public to the language of fragrance through olfactory and sensory workshops and events involving perfume, wine and fine dining. He has worked as a consultant with such major perfume houses as Dior, Chanel, Serge Lutens and Frédéric Malle.

Whereas western civilisation sees perfume as a reflection of the wearer’s personality, in Japan perfume is related to kōdō, the “way of fragrance” – a conscious and mindful appreciation of a perfume. During his residency, Daniel Pescio studied and, above all, practiced this as yet little-known olfactory art. Inspired by this alternative approach to fragrance, he set out to break new ground in perfumery, and use new materials and mediums to foster a fusion of these two arts.
