Antoni Cabal
Antoni Cabal grew up in Barcelona surrounded by the scents of his grandmother's kitchen and the Mediterranean sea. He earned a chemistry degree before entering a renowned perfumery school, where he spent seven years mastering the balance between scientific precision and artistic intuition. After graduating, he joined a leading fragrance house and spent the next decade crafting scents for luxury brands across Europe. In 2014 he founded Fragrance Science, a boutique lab that lets him translate personal memories into wearable art. Over three decades he has built a reputation for meticulous blends that honor tradition while speaking to contemporary tastes. Today he mentors young noses and continues to explore the chemistry of emotion.

How Antoni composes
Antoni favors a structured approach that begins with a strong anchor ingredient, often a rare wood or a refined spice. He layers transparent heart notes such as jasmine or violet to add depth, then finishes with a subtle veil of musk or ambergris. His palette includes Mediterranean citrus, Iberian cedar, and Spanish rosemary, reflecting his roots. He prefers natural extracts when they meet his purity standards, but he does not shy away from synthetics that enhance longevity or clarity. The result is a balanced fragrance that evolves gracefully on the skin.
Philosophy
What drives Antoni
Antoni believes that perfume should act as a silent conversation between wearer and world. He approaches each composition with a clear narrative in mind, letting the first note set the tone and the base anchor the story. He draws inspiration from everyday moments—a rain‑soaked cobblestone street, the aroma of fresh citrus, the warmth of aged leather—and seeks to capture their essence without excess. For him, the creative spark arises when chemistry meets memory, and he measures success by the quiet smile a scent evokes.
