Celia Orozco Cirimbilli
Celia Orozco Cirimbilli stumbled into perfumery through the back door of chemistry. While completing her degree, she interned at Eurofragance, a formative experience that shifted her trajectory entirely. She enrolled at the Grasse Institute of Perfumery, the craft's most rigorous finishing school, and emerged ready to build something lasting in the industry. Today she holds a senior perfumer position at Muller & Koster in France, where she continues developing her voice across commercial and niche projects alike. Her portfolio spans accessible fashion fragrances for brands like L.K.Bennett and Missguided to the more opulent Clive Christian VIII Rococo Immortelle. She represented GRC Parfum as a global finalist in Q-Lab's Sandalwood Reimagined competition, a signal that her approach catches attention beyond mainstream channels.

The signature
How Celia composes
Her style reveals a preference for citrus-led openings and resinous depths. The Clive Christian VIII Rococo Immortelle demonstrates her comfort with unusual combinations, pairing the buttery warmth of immortelle with crisp vetiver and papyrus. She gravitates toward ingredients with narrative weight, choosing materials that carry memory rather than simply smelling pleasant. On commercial work like Little Mix and Missguided, she brings the same specificity to budget-conscious formulas, finding character within limitations. Her technique favors clarity and layering, building compositions where each stage of wear tells a distinct story. Vetiver appears as a recurring signature, a note she seems to return to when grounding spicier or floral elements.
Philosophy
What drives Celia
Orozco Cirimbilli treats each brief as a creative conversation rather than a constraint. Her scientific background gives her an architect's respect for structure, while her Grasse training taught her to prioritize emotion over formula. She seems drawn to projects where contrast creates tension: bright and grounded, familiar yet surprising. Working across mass-market and luxury segments, she refuses to treat accessibility and artistry as opposing forces. Her philosophy centers on connection: finding what a brand genuinely wants to say and translating that into something a wearer remembers.
