- Carmita Magellan Perfumer:
Carmita Magellan, a remarkable figure in the world of perfumery, is currently a perfumer at Firmenich, a globally leading fragrance company. Born in France to Portuguese parents, she has resided in Brazil since 1999 and affectionately describes herself as "Brazilianized French - Portuguese".
Her early life, spent near a forest, was pivotal in shaping her career path. The scents of nature, especially the aroma of trees, held a special allure for her. Her father, an enthusiast of aromatic plants, played a significant role in nurturing her passion. He taught her to identify plants like rosemary, sage, and mint, which not only kindled her love for fragrances but also set her on the journey to become a perfumer. After five years of dedicated training, she was offered a position at Firmenich in Brazil.
Over the years, Carmita has witnessed and contributed to the growth of the perfume industry in Brazil. She creates fragrances centered around her three guiding principles: freshness, comfort, and sensuality. Brazil's natural beauty and diversity serve as her wellspring of inspiration. For her, nature is the ultimate perfumer, and she adores scents such as mint in streams, olive wood, and basil after rain.
Carmita has crafted an extensive portfolio of perfumes for a wide range of brands, including Avon, Jequiti, Natura, and L’Occitane au Brésil. Some of her notable works are the woody - aromatic "Exclusive Reserve" for Avon, the oriental "Privé Homme Special" for Jequiti, and the fruity - floral "Olinda" for L’Occitane au Brésil. Each fragrance is a testament to her creativity and dedication, as she skillfully combines various notes to evoke unique emotions and memories, firmly establishing her as a respected and influential figure in the global perfume community.
