JORGE LEE

Jorge Lee is a senior perfumer who has made a name for himself in the fragrance industry through his work with some of the world's most well-known brands. Born and raised in Bogota, Colombia, Lee developed an appreciation for cooking and using spices and herbs from a young age. He also had a keen sense of smell and would associate different fragrances with those who wore them.

After studying economics at university and starting a job at a Dutch bank, Lee was contacted by a headhunter who was recruiting for Unilever's new office in Bogota. The company was looking for someone to fill a marketing role at Quest International, a fragrance company. Lee knew immediately that this was the job for him and he jumped at the opportunity.

Once at Quest International, Lee was offered the chance to train as an evaluator, and he quickly showed a talent for perfumery. He eventually became a senior perfumer and has since worked with a number of well-known fragrance companies, including Givaudan and MG International Fragrance Company. He has also worked with several niche brands, including Alghabra Parfums, Calaj, Nishane, and Unique'e Luxury.

Lee is particularly inspired by local ingredients, including the rose from Isparta and mastic, a gum used in desserts and chewing. He also loves working with wood scents but has learned that they must be used carefully to avoid overpowering a fragrance.

Lee describes himself as mystical, elegant, and versatile, and he is known for his ability to create fragrances that are both innovative and timeless. With his keen sense of smell and his love for the art of perfumery, Jorge Lee is a perfumer who continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of fragrance.
