Frank Di Mercurio - Finance Director

Frank’s favourite aspect of working at CPL Aromas revolves around the diverse projects and daily tasks that involve collaboration with people from around the world, each bringing their own languages and cultures to the table. He enjoys the constant motion within CPL, involving new projects, processes, which allows us to grow within the industry.

Prior to his role at CPL Aromas, Frank spent two years as Deputy Director at GFL (CPL acquired Global Fragrance Laboratories in 2023), gaining valuable experience within the fragrance industry. When asked what is different about working in the fragrance industry to any other, he replied: “I guess fragrances are always a bit tricky, there are a lot of raw materials that can constantly change the price, new legislations that can force perfumers to change a formula, and that can affect the margin in the same product in a short period of time. You must be always on top of what is happening in the industry to not be left behind.” As for his favourite scent, Frank enjoys fresh marine notes.
