Rein de Bruijne.

Since I was 10 years old, I have been fascinated with perfumery. I learnt some things about perfumery in an Arabic-style perfume bar. After that I bought my first materials and started blending. It took me a while before I could make things that I liked. However, with motivation and determination, I got there. I would like to encourage other enthousiasts to persue their journey in this craft. After all, perfumery is a slow process, it does not matter how long it took you, what matters most is that you kept on trying. I would say that as a perfumer, my favourite fragrance family is florals, as I adore their complexity and realism. Currently I'm fiftheen years old. At the moment most of my perfumery time is occupied by visting indie en industrial fragrance professionals. I'm really looking forward to the small internship that I might be able to do at IFF in May. If you want, you can find me on LinkedIn, I post there sometimes.
