Opportunity swung open the door to perfumery for Wei Ling in 1992 when she joined the company as a perfumer assistant. Enchanted by the diverse scents emanating from the laboratory's olfactory palette and guided by seasoned perfumers, she nurtured a deep passion for creating and exploring fragrances. As she crafted scents across various categories, she quickly formed a profound affinity for Fine Fragrance, where her boundless creativity led her to excel. Perfumery became Wei Ling’s canvas to express herself through the sense of smell—a realm where she defies rigid rules, embracing creative freedom. For her, every fragrance carries a story to tell, a revelation to the world. "Creativity is about infusing a fragrance with a soul... it’s alive... it has a narrative to unfold."
