Jérôme Di Marino

Meet Jérôme di Marino, one of the most captivating talents in the contemporary fragrance world. Born in the French Alps and originally aspiring to a career in design, he ultimately chose the path of science. It was during his chemistry studies in Nice that he stumbled upon the renowned ISIPCA perfume school: the perfect intersection where his dormant creative spark and scientific background harmoniously came together. Di Marino learned the craft from the absolute best. Following a flying start at Givaudan and Givenchy, he spent a decade at Takasago being personally mentored by none other than master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. In late 2022, he joined the prestigious fragrance house Mane, where he now creates from the vibrant hubs of Barcelona and Paris. His creations—ranging from high-end niche to acclaimed classics like Elie Saab Le Parfum In White, Burberry Her Elixir, and gems for Molton Brown and Une Nuit Nomade—reflect his deep love for contrast. Much like an illusionist, he plays with olfactive notes to evoke pure emotion.
