For me, perfumery is about solving technical challenges through creativity, and there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a fragrance reach the shelf after overcoming every obstacle along the way.

He specialises in the toiletry category, where he focuses on understanding product applications and resolving issues such as raw material discolouration and formulation stability. For him, perfumery is as much about problem solving as it is about creativity, and seeing a product he has worked on reach the shelf brings a strong sense of satisfaction, knowing the effort involved in overcoming these challenges.

Sustainability is an important focus for Samuel, and he strongly supports CPL’s initiatives in this area. He recognises the challenges facing the fragrance industry, including raw material availability, environmental impact, and increasing regulatory demands. Despite this, he remains optimistic about the future of fragrance, believing it will continue to thrive as long as people find pleasure and meaning in scent.
