Known for a strong focus on natural materials, particularly woody notes like vetiver and patchouli, and for building fully natural compositions that aim to perform like conventional fragrances. His work for brands such as 100BON, Ormaie, Aemium and Nolença often emphasizes clarity of natural citrus, floral and balsamic tones while managing technical constraints of all-natural formulas, including maceration and longevity.
