- Steve Siliang Guo Perfumer:
Steve Siliang Guo, also known as Steve Guo, is a talented and accomplished perfumer making significant waves in the world of fragrance.
Guo has an impressive portfolio of creations. One of his notable works is "Wild Temptation" from J. del Pozo's Nightology collection launched in 2021. This oriental ambery eau de parfum is full of character. It kicks off with the spicy warmth of cinnamon and the sweet - juicy note of peach. In the heart, it combines nutmeg and bergamot, leading to a base of tobacco and patchouli, creating a complex and alluring scent.
In 2024, for the GOA 2024, Guo created a fragrance that was inspired by profound concepts. Derived from the Taoist "Da Bai Ruo Ru, Da Fang Wu Yu, Da Xiang Wu Xing" which means the purest white seems soiled, the greatest square has no corners, and the greatest form has no shape, his creation used woody notes to depict a pure white realm, subverting traditional expressions of cleanliness. The fragrance features top notes of bergamot, frankincense, and pink pepper; middle notes of ambergris, jasmine, and iris; and base notes of benzoin, cypress, musk, and sandalwood.
His work "Wild Elf", a winning entry in the GOA 2024 Best Car Fragrance category, is another testament to his creativity. Guo aimed to capture the essence of a sunny winter morning in a citrus orchard. When you imagine plucking a frosty fresh pomelo from the tree and cutting it open, you experience the bitter peel, the sour - sweet pulp, and the splashing juice. "Wild Elf" encapsulates this vivid and lively citrus scent, filled with a sense of vitality and freedom.
With his unique approach to combining different scent elements and drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources, whether it's ancient philosophy or vivid natural experiences, Steve Siliang Guo continues to create fragrances that stand out in the highly competitive world of perfumery, appealing to the olfactory senses of fragrance enthusiasts around the globe.
