Karol Jaśkowiak
In 2019, I opened perfumiarz.com – a shop for people who also want to understand perfumery and try it for themselves. Today I create original fragrance compositions, teach postgraduate perfumery courses, and run workshops. For the Wrocław-based brand Tkliwi Nihiliści, I created five fragrances – the first batch of one hundred bottles sold out in two weeks.
I make some ingredients myself. Every March, I collect poplar buds – I have only a two-week window. They then spend six months macerating in alcohol before they are ready. I have learned that in perfumery, rushing simply does not exist.
