Stefan Garavagno can confidently be called a master of 'loud' perfumery. He isn’t afraid to use powerful synthetic molecules that provide phenomenal longevity and projection.

His favorite technique is the contrast between a cold, metallic edge and a warm, almost edible sweetness. It’s this contrast that has won over niche perfume fans worldwide.
