Erasmo de la Parra.

Erasmo de la Parra, originally from Amsterdam and now a citizen of Madrid, is the founder of BASED, curator of perfume bases for DIY perfumers, and the perfumer behind C.XIII (formerly Cabinet 13) and Global South International. Alongside perfume, he has built a parallel career in film as a director and writer, bringing a cross-disciplinary vision to his creations. He began his training fifteen years ago in Barcelona with an under-the-radar Spanish master perfumer, known only within select circles. His palette is minimal and his formulas restrained, built on the conviction that simplicity carries beauty and complexity as one.
