Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox person Alberto Morillas (born 1950) is a Spanish perfumer. He is a master perfumer at Swiss fragrance and flavor firm dsm-firmenich, where his notable creations have included Calvin Klein CK One, Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò and Marc Jacobs Daisy. He has an independent line called Mizensir.[1]

Early life

Morillas was born in 1950 in Seville, Spain[2] and moved to Switzerland at age ten.[3] He studied for two years at the École des Beaux Arts in Geneva.[2]

He cites as early scent memories his mother's bottle of Rochas Femme and his father's hair tonic.[3]

Career

Firmenich

Mainly self-taught,[4] Morillas began working in perfumery at 20,[3] inspired by a Vogue article about French perfumer Jean-Paul Guerlain.[4] He joined Swiss fragrance and flavor firm Firmenich in 1970[4] and has gone on to create nearly 7000 perfumes.[1] He established himself with the 1975 creation Must de Cartier, the jewelry company's first fragrance.[4]

Among Morillas's notable creations is CK One, developed with Harry Fremont in 1994 for Calvin Klein fashion brand.[5] In the mid-1990s, CK One had annual sales of about $90 million (USD) and in 2007 still sold about $30 million annually in the United States.[6] In Perfumes: The Guide, Luca Turin gave CK One four of five stars, describing it as a "radiant citrus" that combines "soapy, fresh top notes" with heart and base notes simultaneously, creating a linear effect in which the scent sustains one "chord" rather than shapeshifting over the course of the day: "Time forever stands still at 8 a.m.: the frozen morning of a day full of promise."[7] It is often cited as the first "unisex" fragrance[4] (though historians note that dividing fragrances by gender was itself a relative novelty, a development of 20th-century marketing techniques.)[8]

Other projects

In 1997, Morillas and his wife began a line of scented candles called Mizensir, which grew to offer 80 different candles.[4] In 2015,[9] Morillas expanded the brand to include 17 perfumes.[4] In collaboration with Penhaligon's, Morillas also has a custom perfumery service, Bespoke by Alberto Morillas, based the Salon de Parfum in department store Harrods in London.[10]

Awards

Morillas won the Prix François Coty in 2003.[4]

Personal life

Morillas lives in Geneva, after periods in Paris and New York.[11]
