It’s like he’s dreaming to become an astronaut...

During his teenage years, Gabriel Gabor started to discover and wear perfumes, which triggered his devoted interest in fragrance creation at the time.

How to make a fragrance? What makes a perfume? What are the secret key ingredients of the perfume? Why can fragrances be elegant, sexy or smell of love?

Why do fragrances have top, heart and base notes?

These riddles are the everlasting fire burning in the heart of a fragrance lover. Even at that time Gabriel Gabor could recognize natural fragrance ingredients from the perfume notes.

When he came up with the idea of creating fragrances or working with perfumes, he was the target of ridicule and disbelief. Many people in Hungary wrote him off saying:

It’s like he’s dreaming to become an astronaut...

In 2018, the population of the Earth is more than 7 500 million people. The total number of astronauts is about 800 and who have been in Space is 562 (USAF data). The total number of living perfumers in 2018 is less than 500. The human nose has roughly 400 types of scent receptors that can detect at least 1 trillion different scents, previously estimated about 10,000 scents.

A perfumer nowadays applies fragrance raw materials from a list of 3000-5000 fragrance ingredients in a professional fragrance laboratory.

"At my age of 5, I could not even explain with my own words what would be my profession when my father asked me about, just picked some daffodils, lilies of the valley and put them together under his nose, showing him to smell the wonderful scents of flowers without saying a word. Honestly, I didn’t know that this is the true passion and profession of the perfumer: Creation of fragrances with nose and soul, expressing feelings without words but with scents."

 - Gabriel Gabor Perfumer -

The harmony and the personality of the luxury perfume and the olfactory message of the fragrance as an artwork are the essential instead of the dominance of the accentuated raw materials. When the art of luxury olfactive creation manifests itself. 

A good perfume emphases your image, your lifestyle and lets you connect to the feelings of the present, on your skin you live together. A great perfume is like a great painting, many colours can vibrate but the harmony of the shapes and facettes let you discover the round story and the hidden message. Instead of focusing on the colours or patterns of a painting or instead of trying to catch and identify the raw materials of a perfume as an olfactive painting, just surrender ourselves and enjoy the magic of the art, feel the precious moment.

In reality and as a phenomenon, the real niche in the forest of the niche perfume brands is the professional perfumer himself/herself.

One of the most important missions of the haute perfumery is to re-establish and redefine the connection between the professional perfumer-creators and the connoisseurs, collectors of olfactory arts in a luxury distinguished context. 

"I personally encourage all professional perfumers to put their heart in their own beautiful perfume creations and also to present themselves with their own brands in the Parfumeur-Créateur Niche fragrance category."   - Gabriel Gabor Perfumer -
