Bünyamin ATEŞ is a remarkable figure in the world of perfumery. In 2009, he founded the Istanbul - based perfume brand B.ATES, which has since made waves in the industry.
As a perfumer, Bünyamin ATEŞ approaches the creation of fragrances with a unique perspective. He believes that perfume notes are like musical notes, each having its own distinct timbre. Just as a beautiful symphony is created when the right musical notes are combined, a great perfume is born when the appropriate fragrance notes blend harmoniously. He also emphasizes the significance of human skin, considering it as one of the most important elements in a fragrance. Since every person's skin scent is as unique as a fingerprint, when it interacts with suitable fragrance notes, it can create a truly magical olfactory experience.
Under his leadership, B.ATES is not only a perfume brand but also a platform that designs fragrances and packaging for various perfume lines. The brand is committed to achieving perfection in all aspects of its products, with a strong focus on delivering the highest quality in both fragrances and packaging. In 2022, B.ATES launched its first collection, the Milestones series, which bears the brand's name. This collection showcases Bünyamin ATEŞ's creative vision and the brand's dedication to innovation. The brand has a total of 5 perfumes in its fragrance base, all launched in 2022, and these fragrances were created in collaboration with renowned perfumers such as Arturetto Landi, Julie Massé, and Mark Buxton. For example, the Amber Woody fragrance, launched in 2022, was created by Arturetto Landi and Bünyamin ATEŞ. It features top notes of grapefruit, mandarin orange, orange, paprika, and cardamom; middle notes of jasmine, ylang - ylang, heliotrope, lily - of - the - valley, rose, and orris root; and base notes of amber, sandalwood, vetiver, tonka bean, and vanilla. Another fragrance, Citrus Woody, also launched in 2022 and created by Arturetto Landi and Bünyamin ATEŞ, has a top note of grapefruit, middle notes of ambroxan and sandalwood, and a base note of woody notes.
Bünyamin ATEŞ and his brand B.ATES have built bridges between different cultures by bringing together traditional and modern motifs from the East and the West in their perfume designs. They also reflect all the latest innovations in production techniques, making their fragrances not only scents but also a representation of art, culture, and modernity.
