- Arturo Obegero Perfumer:
Arturo Obegero, a Spanish fashion designer based in Paris, is a creative force known for his distinct approach. Born in the bohemian fishing village of Tapia de Casariego in northern Spain, the "melancholic yet poetic" environment deeply influenced his love for nature, performing arts, and Spanish culture. His early life surrounded by the wild beauty of the sea and nature left indelible marks on his creative spirit.
Graduating from Central Saint Martins in London, Obegero combines his rustic roots with avant - garde fashion concepts. In 2020, he established his eponymous fashion brand in Paris, defining his style as "minimal - drama". His fashion works feature simple lines, yet create a powerful visual impact through material selection and meticulous detailing.
In the perfume realm, Obegero made a notable debut. In 2021, he collaborated with the Czech perfume brand Pigmentarium to launch his first perfume, Azabache. This unisex fragrance, limited to 300 bottles, was sold in hand - painted black bottles with gold lettering by Obegero himself. The scent, inspired by his homeland of Asturias, blends elements like the incense in a church, the ocean breeze, and a rose garden. It contains notes of pink pepper, verbena, moss, and three types of roses, offering a unique olfactory experience. In 2024, he further contributed to the perfume world with Azabache Chapter 2, adding another layer to his perfumery portfolio. His foray into perfumery, much like his fashion design, showcases his ability to blend different elements to create something both personal and universally appealing, making him a designer to watch in both fashion and fragrance industries.
