Sebastian Ramos Araya
Sebastian Ramos Araya grew up in the coastal city of La Serena, Chile, and built a foundation as an engineer before pivoting into the world of scent. His path into perfumery runs through an unusual intersection of disciplines: he works simultaneously as a photographer and brand identity specialist, bringing a visual artist's sensibility to the invisible medium of fragrance. This multi-disciplinary background gives him a different vantage point from perfumers who enter the field through traditional routes. He divides his time between Santiago and the broader fragrance community, and maintains an active presence as @sebalsc on social platforms. His work with Sinergia Parfums represents his most visible entry into the industry, where he contributes to a brand exploring contemporary fragrance from a distinctly Latin American perspective. Beyond Sinergia, his Notanicho project suggests interests that extend beyond conventional fragrance boundaries. With five fragrances in his catalog, including the notable Almareto, he is still in the early chapters of his perfumery career but has already established himself as a distinctive voice emerging from Chile's growing contribution to global fragrance.

How Sebastian composes
Working primarily through Sinergia Parfums, Ramos Araya builds fragrances with attention to coherent storytelling. His engineering background suggests precision in formulation and an appreciation for structural balance. Five fragrances in his catalog demonstrate a range that includes his work on Almareto, though the full scope of his style is still taking shape. He gravitates toward projects with clear identity, suggesting a preference for fragrances with strong conceptual foundations over purely note-driven compositions. His photography work likely influences how he thinks about fragrance layers and the interplay of different elements over time.
Philosophy
What drives Sebastian
Ramos Araya approaches fragrance as an extension of visual and narrative identity rather than purely as aromatic construction. He brings an engineer's systematic thinking together with a photographer's attention to light, shadow, and composition. His creative process seems to treat each fragrance as a complete brand story, where the juice, the bottle, and the message form an inseparable whole. Latin American identity informs his work, not as a constraint but as an authentic perspective he can offer in a field often dominated by European-centric narratives. He appears drawn to projects that challenge how luxury fragrance can be defined from outside traditional centers of the industry.
