Mattia Sorrentino
Mattia Sorrentino trained at the Italian Perfumery Institute before apprenticing under Maestro Profumiere Maurizio Cerizza, whose rigorous standards left a lasting imprint on his approach to composition. He launched his eponymous brand as both owner and creative force, building Sorrentino into a vehicle for his vision of contemporary artistic perfumery. Based in Italy, he develops original fragrances and tailor-made projects for brands and companies, demonstrating a versatility that extends beyond personal label work. His collaboration with Sniff Sniff since 2025 and his partnership with Adam James Cavallari on the fragrance Jijide reveal a perfumer comfortable working across creative contexts. Sorrentino approaches each composition as an opportunity to strip away excess and arrive at something essential.

How Mattia composes
Sorrentino favors precise, architectural compositions where each note functions within a deliberate structure. His aesthetic leans modern and restrained, drawing on high-quality materials without excess. Clean constructions define his signature, producing fragrances that breathe rather than overwhelm. His work spans from brand collaborations to artistic independent projects, suggesting a versatility rooted in technical confidence. The absence of fillers means each element works harder, creating depth through intentionality rather than volume.
Philosophy
What drives Mattia
For Sorrentino, perfumery begins with subtraction. He builds fragrances around clean constructions, rejecting the notion that complexity requires density. Every material must justify its presence; nothing exists simply to fill space. This disciplined approach stems from a belief that emotional resonance comes through clarity rather than accumulation. He describes starting from scratch on each project, which suggests a refusal to lean on familiar formulas. His work reflects an Italian sensibility refined through independent study and mentorship, producing fragrances that feel considered rather than crowded.
