- Doris Brugger Perfumer:
Doris Brugger is a remarkable figure in the world of perfumery. Hailing from Germany, her journey into the realm of scents is as fascinating as the fragrances she creates.
Doris spent over a decade in the glamorous fashion industry. She worked closely with her dear friend and mentor, the late Gianni Versace, handling PR responsibilities for the German market. So close was their bond that Versace affectionately named her "Doris Sima". After Versace's untimely passing, she took to traveling the world, which became a wellspring of inspiration for her future endeavors.
In 2002, she released her first scented body oil, "Aphrodite", along with an all - natural beauty line. This led to a pivotal meeting with the Italian perfumer Lorenzo Villoresi. Inspired by this encounter with the master perfumer, she returned to Germany with a new vision - to craft fragrances using only pure natural ingredients.
Her brand, Dorissima, features some notable creations. For instance, "Narziss" and "Goldmund" are a pair of fragrances named after the masterpiece by German writer Herman Hesse. "Narziss" eau de toilette is a harmonious blend of tarragon, royal sage, rose, atlas cedar, vetiver, tonka, fig leaves, and sandalwood. It has a distinct, long - lasting dry down that is both captivating and unique. On the other hand, "Goldmund" eau de parfum combines tonka beans, vanilla, iris root, rose, powdery carnation, benzoin, sandalwood, soft musk, balsam notes, peru balsam, and allspice, resulting in a warm, sweet, and spicy aroma.
Doris Brugger's expertise extends beyond just perfume creation. With a deep understanding of Ayurveda, holistic living, and inner beauty, and being an enthusiastic yoga practitioner herself, she infuses these ancient and natural well - being concepts into her fragrances. Her work represents a unique intersection of her rich life experiences, her passion for natural ingredients, and her dedication to creating scents that are not only unforgettable but also reflect a sense of balance and harmony.
