Olfactory Expert

“I'm Oana Tudoran, the creative director of Accidental Perfumes, an artistic exploration through scent and literature. As a published author and interdisciplinary artist, I navigate the space between olfaction, poetry, and performance in my work. I'm also in the process of launching my eponymous perfume brand. I regularly collaborate with perfume brands, helping them weave scent stories into their olfactory creations.”

Director

I'm Kunaal, a creative with a background in graphic design and branding, but my real passion? The world of fragrance. I'm building a platform to explore the art and science behind perfumes and scents – everything from how we choose a scent and how fragrances are made, to the stories behind the classics. I want to build a real community of people who, like me, are fascinated by the power of scent and want to explore it together.
