Manos Gerakinis
Manos Gerakinis’s vision of the fragrance brand was clear: he wanted the wearer to become the pole of attraction for those around him and to be a lasting memory long after.
Manos, given name Emmanouil, a world class traveler whose life specialized him in fine luxury, was born in North Greece but lived abroad most of his life. Coming from a ship owner family that originates in Istanbul meant that his grandparents would take him traveling around the world. He was charmed by different cultures while growing to love classical music and developing his natural talent for painting. His grandmother who was a fine art lover, introduced him to the french 'Savoir Faire' and insisted on him taking painting classes for almost ten years. Manos favourite themes are women and flowers, especially roses.
Since a young boy he started collecting scents and fragrances in order to captivate these memories. He knew since then that a fragrance is one's little treasure and as such it should be unique, mysterious and poetic. He is the editor of every single perfume to its last detail and each one narrates a story of their own. His scents can take you to various places, from walking down Champs Elysees to the Arab souk markets, from a summer night in Greece to a Japanese flower garden.
“A fragrance is more than an ideal combination of essential oils. It is a great journey through time, places and emotions.”
Gourmand
Gourmand fragrances are inspired by delicious, dessert-like notes and the comforting warmth of familiar indulgences. They often blend vanilla, fruit, spice, caramel, chocolate, nuts, or creamy accords into scents that feel cozy, playful, decadent, or elegant. Sweet without always being simple, the best gourmands feel memorable, refined, and hard to resist.
