Eric Fraccapan is a perfumer whose journey into the world of fragrances has been driven by a passion for research and craftsmanship. Although the details of his early education are not widely known, his professional career is inextricably linked to the global industry.

His collaboration with brands demonstrates versatility: from the French elegance of Le Couvent Maison de Parfum to the Mediterranean flavor of Compagnie de Provence.
The perfumer's portfolio includes many successful works that are hotly discussed in the community. Paglieri - Amalphia is rightly considered Eric Fracapan's calling card — a sunny and juicy fragrance that has won hearts with its cheerfulness. His other creations for this house are no less popular: the elegant Paglieri - Romae, the fresh Paglieri - Genua, and the romantic Paglieri - Florentia. The bright citrus Paglieri - Agrigentum and the noble Paglieri 1876 Venetiae are also among the favorites.
His talent for creating concise and understandable perfumes is revealed in the delicate Solinotes - Fleur d'Iris. And for the Sergio Nero brand, Eric Fraccapan created a bold and modern trilogy, including the charismatic fragrances Victoire de la diplomatie, the invigorating Nerfs d'acier, and the confident Coup d'avance.
