Loc Dong

Loc Dong is a master perfumer born in 1972 in Saigon, Vietnam, recognized as the first Asian fine fragrance perfumer in the industry. His childhood alongside his herbalist grandfather, among medicinal plants, herbs and spices, awakened an olfactive sensibility that would define his entire career. He left Vietnam alone at the age of eleven, channeling that experience into a determination that has fueled his creativity ever since.

Trained under the guidance of figures such as Dominique Ropion, Sophia Grojsman and Carlos Benaím, he began his perfumery career at Haarmann & Reimer in 1992, where he created the first Marc Jacobs fragrance in 2001, before joining IFF, where he worked for two decades between New York and Paris. Among his most recognized creations are Calvin Klein Euphoria, Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia and Paco Rabanne Olympéa.

His style combines a deep connection to natural raw materials with an innovative approach to synthetics, translating roots, travels and personal encounters into compositions of powerful emotional impact. Million Gold For Her by Rabanne is among his most recent works.
