- Thomas Obroki Perfumer:
Thomas Obroki is a remarkable figure in the world of perfumery. His journey into the realm of scents began with a deep - seated fascination at a young age, with early memories, such as those of Christmas decorations in the loft, playing a role in sparking his interest in fragrance.
Thomas is perhaps well - known for his YouTube perfume channel, ouch110, where he shares his insights and reviews, demonstrating his profound knowledge and passion for the field. In 2013, he took a significant step in his career by enrolling in the two - year home - study course at the Perfumery Art School, founded by Isabelle Gellé, which specializes in natural perfumery.
His graduation piece, “Marari,” is a testament to his skills and creativity. Inspired by the Mararikulam area of India, with its tropical beaches and evening fires, this fragrance is a luxurious blend of natural ingredients. It opens with a combination of lime and cardamom, creating a dry - heat sensation that sets the stage for the rest of the scent. The heart of the fragrance features a decadent double dose of jasmine and tuberose, with the tuberose adding an almond - like denseness cut through by a touch of black pepper. As it develops on the skin, a delicate orange - blossom - imbued sandalwood emerges, followed by the “dusk fires of India” in the form of spicy, gently smoking guaiac wood. Despite being a natural fragrance with expensive ingredients, especially the sandalwood, the result is gloriously rich, spacious, and beautifully refined.
Thomas Obroki continues to contribute to the world of perfumery, not only through his creations but also by sharing his love and knowledge of scents with a wider audience, making him an important and influential figure in the industry.
