Interview with Alberto Morillas

What inspires you when you create a fragrance?
I am inspired by an emotion that I want to translate into a fragrance. These feelings and moods become the essential notes that make each of my creations unique. For example, the joy of a sunny afternoon, the calm of a quiet morning or the passion of a romantic evening - all these emotions are captured and distilled into fragrances that can be enjoyed every day.

How do you go about the creation process?
The creation process can consist of recreating a landscape, a flower or a pleasant moment. I start by fully immersing myself in the experience, capturing its essence and then carefully selecting and mixing notes to evoke the desired emotional response. For example, if I want to recreate the tranquility of a beach vacation, I combine the freshness of maritime notes with the warmth of sun-kissed grains of sand and the subtle sweetness of coastal flowers to create a fragrance that transports you directly to that place.

Are there any fragrances that are particularly suitable for summer? What would you recommend?
Yes, certain fragrances are particularly suitable for summer as they capture the vibrancy and freshness of the season. I recommend Acqua di Gio and CK One. Acqua di Gio offers a refreshing aquatic scent that embodies the spirit of the sea, while CK One is a clean, citrusy fragrance that is both invigorating and timeless, perfect for warm summer days.

What does summer smell like to you? What are typical summer fragrances?
For me, summer smells like the invigorating scent of the sea, which evokes a feeling of strength and relaxation. It also reminds me of the purity of a mountain landscape, characterized by mineral and woody notes. These scents capture the essence of different summer environments - from the salty breeze of the ocean to the clear, fresh air of the mountains - and blend into a harmonious fragrance that embodies the spirit of the season.

Where should you apply a fragrance?
For men, I recommend applying the fragrance to the chest. This allows the fragrance to rise subtly throughout the day and create a constant presence. For women, the neck and wrists are ideal places. These pulse points create warmth that diffuses the fragrance and increases its longevity, enveloping you in a delicate veil of scent.

Have you created other products besides perfumes?
Yes, I have created candles for Mizensir, which is my own company. These candles are made with the same careful attention and dedication to quality as my fragrances and transform rooms into fragrant oases that evoke specific moods and atmospheres.

What is the difference in creating a normal fragrance and a fragrance for a hair care line?
There is no fundamental difference; it is an act of creation, a process of capturing a unique moment and emotion. Whether it's a personal perfume or a fragrance for a hair care line, the goal is the same: to create a sensory experience that resonates on a deep, emotional level and enriches everyday life with a touch of luxury and sophistication.

What are your next projects?
I have many new projects in development, most of which are fragrances for men and women. These upcoming creations will continue to explore new olfactory territories, pushing the boundaries of what a fragrance can evoke and offering fresh, innovative scents that appeal to the contemporary wearer.
