Master Perfumer

Angela Stavrevska

Angela Stavrevska earned a chemistry degree before swapping lab coats for scent bottles. She spent a brief stint as an analytical chemist, but the pull of fragrance kept her awake at night. In 2009 she joined CPL Aromas as a product‑marketing assistant, where she learned the business side of scent. Within two years she began assisting the house nose, translating market briefs into aromatic concepts. By 2012 she earned the title of perfumer, blending scientific rigor with a storyteller’s instinct. Over the next decade she shaped dozens of private‑label and retail launches, earning a reputation for turning brand narratives into wearable memories. In 2023 she stepped into the role of Creative Director, guiding CPL’s global fragrance strategy while still crafting scents herself. Her career blends chemistry, commerce, and creativity, proving that a lab‑trained mind can thrive in the art of perfume.

The signature

How Angela composes

Angela favors a structured approach. She starts with a clear accord, then builds supporting notes that reinforce the core idea. She leans on citrus, aromatic herbs, and clean musks to anchor compositions, adding floral or woody accents only when they serve the narrative. Her technical skill lets her balance volatile top notes with long‑lasting bases, ensuring the fragrance evolves predictably on skin. She often experiments with natural isolates, pairing them with synthetics to achieve precision without sacrificing warmth. The result is a scent that feels both contemporary and timeless.

Philosophy

What drives Angela

Angela treats each brief as a conversation between a brand and its audience. She believes a fragrance must echo a product’s personality, not merely mask it. Her chemistry background forces her to respect ingredient limits and sustainability, while her marketing experience pushes her to think beyond the bottle. She seeks clarity: a scent should convey a story at first spray, then reveal depth with time. For her, success means a consumer instantly recognizes the brand’s voice in the aroma, and later discovers hidden layers that keep them coming back.
