Michele Marin is a passionate Italian perfume designer, whose rich and eclectic artistic journey shines through in each of his olfactory creations. His fascination with perfume began at the age of thirteen, marked by a powerful memory: the scent of "Jardin de Bagatelle" by Jean-Paul Guerlain. This moment, which captivated him and sharpened his senses, became the starting point of a life dedicated to olfactory emotions.

Before devoting himself to perfumery, Michele explored the world of cinema, theater, and opera, collaborating with masters such as Franco Zeffirelli and Marco Bellocchio. These artistic experiences forged his sensitivity and enriched his creative vocabulary, laying the foundations of his unique and immersive universe. Determined to transform his passion into art, he trained in Paris at Cinquième Sens, then in Italy with a confirmed nose, thus strengthening his skills in composition and technique.

His professional career led him to become director of the Bar à Parfums-Olfattorio in Florence and to collaborate with the Etro house. In 2013, Michele founded Infragranti Parfumeur, a workshop where he develops personalized fragrances and creates prestigious collaborations with fashion, hospitality and decoration brands. Over the years, he has collaborated with houses such as Roy Roger's, Anima Mundi, and Francesca Dell'Oro, and has designed room fragrances for iconic locations such as the Castello di Ama.

His talent is crowned with success: his creations, including "Animal Café" (Extra Virgo) and "Else" (Francesca Dell'Oro), were finalists at the Art and Olfaction Awards, establishing his work within niche artisanal perfumery. Today, Michele Marin is a perfumer appreciated for his intimate, poetic and sensory approach, mixing technique, emotion, and a deep respect for the quality of the natural materials that he carefully selects.
