The world of perfumes is quite compartmentalized. Although the most beautiful fragrances are now circulating the world, only a few renowned companies are in charge of most of the creations. Also, many perfumers have worked for several of these companies and have even returned there several times. Moreover, this was precisely the journey of David Apel.
David Apel’s professional career
It was in 1980 that the career of perfumer David Apel began. He was recruited by Givaudan as a formulator. He held this position for eight years before becoming a perfumer in 1988. Then, eager to discover another universe, David Apel collaborated from 1997 to 2001 with Fragrance Resources. Nevertheless, it was not long before he returned to his first love and then returned to Givaudan. Since 2007 David Apel has been hired at Symrise, a German perfume production company. This time he holds a post of senior perfumer.
David Apel’s creations
David Apel is a fairly discreet character who does not like to talk about his personal life, his background and his preferences. Only his many olfactory creations are there to testify. In addition, we owe David Apel great successes which today occupy our perfume department. It is he who is behind the development of Cerruti 1881 for women for the eponymous house, the essential Hugo for Hugo Boss, many essences from the Private Blend collection by Tom Ford as well as the iconic Black Orchid.
In general, David Apel is a perfumer very attracted by strong perfumes with a beautiful structure. His career has been marked by many successes, including that of the Young Perfumer’s Prize in 1991. What is more, he is continually immersed in the world of perfumes since he himself is married to a perfumer, Caroline Sabas. .
