Andreas Wilhelm
Wilhelm is known for a highly technical approach to materials, including his ability to deconstruct and "crack" complex notes such as patchouli into cleaner, more transparent interpretations that remove unwanted facets while retaining their character. His work ranges from niche fine fragrances for brands like Xerjoff and Sarah Baker to experimental projects such as scents for art installations, Scent Cinema events and even the headspace-captured smell of freshly printed Swiss Franc notes.
