Andrew Joseph Everett
"I believe a fragrance can be a voice… My goal when I create is to make sure that each voice resonates deeply, either loudly or quietly, but truly."
Andrew Everett sees perfumery as an act of exploration, learning, and storytelling. His creative process is guided by curiosity, playfulness, and a willingness to take risks—embracing mistakes as opportunities for discovery. Raised in Florida, he was deeply connected to nature, the ocean, and the scents of his surroundings. His journey first led him to study art history in Rome, where he was influenced by artists, collectors, and mentors who introduced fragrance to him as a powerful storytelling medium.
Determined to master the craft, Andrew spent years experimenting with raw materials, studying fragrance composition, and seeking mentorship in the industry. His persistence led him to IFF’s perfumery school, where he trained as a perfumer and refined his artistic approach. He is fascinated by leathery notes and their versatility, often pushing their boundaries with unexpected accords like ambroxan, ionone beta, and turmeric leaves to create new olfactory dimensions.
Now a perfumer at IFF, Andrew sees fragrance as more than a composition—it is a voice, a choice, and a way to connect with others through scent.
