Veysel Akyol
Veysel Akyol brings an international sensibility to his work as a perfumer. Based in Turkey, he holds a senior account management role at Seluz Fragrance Company, where he oversees international client relationships while continuing to develop his creative voice in fragrance design. This dual position at the intersection of commercial strategy and artistic creation shapes how he approaches composition: understanding what clients need while pushing himself toward distinctive olfactory statements. His first notable credited work arrived in 2025 with Ramad Oriental for Arabiyat Prestige, an Oriental composition that signals a designer finding his footing in the regional market. The launch introduced top notes of cardamom and elemi, positioning Akyol within a contemporary Turkish perfumery tradition while carving out space for an individual aesthetic.

How Veysel composes
Cardamom emerges as a recurring interest in Akyol's work, its warm, slightly peppery quality anchoring his Oriental compositions. Elemi provides a resinous, citrus-adjacent brightness that lifts heavier base materials. His approach to Oriental fragrance leans modern, favoring clarity and lift over dense, overwhelming sillage. He seems drawn to materials that bridge spicy and sweet, creating fragrances that read as sophisticated rather than ostentatious.
Philosophy
What drives Veysel
Akyol works from the ground up, beginning with cultural resonance before layering in personal expression. His international role at Seluz exposed him to diverse market expectations, teaching him that effective fragrance must communicate clearly while still surprising. He favors compositions that feel familiar at first encounter, then reveal complexity through evolution on skin. This balance between accessibility and depth drives his creative decisions across projects.
