Paloma Martin
Perfumer
When I see a fragrance on shelf that our team have worked on, I’m extremely proud, it takes a wide team and a lot of work to achieve this. It is very satisfying to think a perfume I created can be smelt by thousands of people.
Paloma Martin, our Perfumer in CPL Aromas Spain, has a passion for music and interest in chemistry converging seamlessly in the world of perfumery. Studying perfumery during her Master ICAP in Montpellier, she further honed her skills in the fragrance hub of Grasse and continues her training at CPL, learning something new every day.
Orris and sandalwood are Paloma's favourite ingredients, often incorporated into her creations for their creamy wood and warm floral effects. She would use them in every fragrance if possible, especially in the base notes.
Beyond perfumery, Paloma's heart remains with music, whether humming around the office or playing the guitar and writing song lyrics at home. The interplay between music and perfumery serves as a mutual source of inspiration.
Looking ahead, Paloma anticipates stability in olfactive notes but foresees stricter regulations, presenting challenges for perfumers to create new fragrances with reduced palettes. She embraces these challenges, viewing them as opportunities to be faced and overcome.
