Liesma Oše
Liesma Oše stands as one of the most significant figures in Latvian perfumery, serving as the nose behind Dzintars' celebrated Kredo. Working within one of the Baltic region's oldest and most storied fragrance houses, Oše represents the continuation of a distinctly Latvian olfactory tradition. Her work with Dzintars reflects both the heritage of Soviet-era perfumery and a modern sensibility that resonates with contemporary fragrance lovers. While details of her formal training remain largely undocumented in available sources, her mastery is evident in Kredo's composition, which demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of balance and lasting impression.

What drives Liesma
Oše's approach to perfumery appears rooted in the Dzintars tradition of creating fragrances that balance elegance with accessibility.
