The Team
MAGDALENA GIACOMELLI, MARKETING & SOCIAL MEDIA ASSISTANT
What do you enjoy most about your job?
Having the privilege of assisting The Fragrance Foundation UK in enforcing a network of developers, brands, perfumers, and regular consumers and fragrance passionates is a delicate but highly gratifying challenge! Sharing resources with consumers and future generations of fragrant professionals is also particularly rewarding, especially when I receive feedback on how my work and knowledge offer introductory access to various aspirants who want to join the perfumery world!
What is your favourite Scent Memory?
The saltiness of Southern Tuscan seawater, clashing with the breezy air perfumed of maritime pine trees and lavender from my childhood holidays ... I used to visit the Italian region with my parents to study the local Etruscan sites but as a child, I would always end up paying more attention to the scented air and smell-scapes surrounding the beautiful Maremma area rather than to the excavations!
Your favourite fragrance?
A leathery incense masterpiece- Bohemian Woods, by Mathieu Nardin for Atelier Oblique.
