Alberto Morillas

Alberto Morillas (b. 1950, Seville, Spain) is one of the most influential perfumers in modern fragrance history. He moved to Switzerland as a child and studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Geneva before joining Firmenich in 1970. Self-taught in the craft, he earned the title of Perfumer in 1977 and Master Perfumer in 1998. His first major success came in 1975 with Must de Cartier, the jewelry house's debut fragrance.

Over his career he created nearly 7,000 compositions for Firmenich, including Calvin Klein's CK One, Giorgio Armani's Acqua di Giò, Kenzo's Flower, and Bulgari's Omnia.

In 2003 he received the Prix François Coty. He also founded his own house, Mizensir, where he developed a more personal, artisanal vision of perfumery, cementing his place as one of the great noses of his generation.
