Born and raised in Sicily, in a small town in the province of Trapani, Mariaceleste Lombardo has breathed the scents of her land among orange blossoms and jasmines, in a place surrounded by vineyards, flowering meadows, and orchards in the sunlight. Once she completed high school, she moved to Tuscany, where she began her training which in 2021 will lead her to be one of the perfumers at Moellhausen. For Mariaceleste, fragrances are important “symbolic details” that complete the first brief impression we have of reality and that produce a not ephemeral beauty, sensations that embed themselves in our memory. On 2016, she graduated in Cosmetic Chemistry at the University of Siena. She acquired basic expertise and knowledge related to cosmetic products, focusing in particular on the set of issues of formulation, formula industrialization, cosmetic functionality, and safety of the finished product. After years of experience in the Quality Control and Research & Development role within a renowned Italian company manufacturing ambient fragrance high-end products, she attended the exclusive Grasse Institute of Perfumery (GIP), where she attained the International Technical Degree in Fragrance Creation and Sensory Evaluation. In January 2020, Mariaceleste embarked on a new qualifying experience as a Trainee Perfumer within a company that specialized in fine perfumery. There, and after joining Moellhausen last January 2021, she continued the study of raw materials focusing on the construction of olfactory memory. According to Mariaceleste, putting on perfume means to communicate, and in communicating with fragrance, everyone has a great responsibility; the olfactory aura will announce us to others when we meet them and will leave a memory of us when we go off. An unforgettable memory.
