Angela Ciampagna
“Life is made of imperfections: the train is late, you punctured a tyre, your pizza is burnt, that special date was a failure, your daddy is going to die… that’s life. When I deal with raw materials, first of all, I give them my respect, it doesn’t matter if they are natural or synthetic. Only after I listened to them in depth, I’m able to find the best way to let them speak and to let them tell people my story. Every composition is then scratched, blemished and covered with dust, so it’s made really lively, more true, just like all the imperfect things.”(Interview with Basenotes)
You can find many aspects of Angela’s point of view and her methods in this statement.
Angela Ciampagna independent perfumer and co-founder of the artistic perfume brand Angela Ciampagna Alta Profumeria Artigianale and the perfume house Label Fine Perfumes Toilets & Waxes, where each product is designed, produced, filled and packaged in its own perfume production on the island of Tenerife.
She began studying the art and technics of perfumery on her own during her University years, and worked for many hours on experimental production of extracts. According to Angela, the perfumer’s work on creating perfumes is not just the development of a”formula of composition”. She wants her Studio to adhere to the principle of the old perfume Atelier that opened in Europe in the early nineteenth century, when the perfumer was following the entire production process from the birth of the image texture to create the final product, at all stages of formulation development, raw material selection, production of concentrate, mixing, aging, filtering and bottling.
Among Angela’s most important awards is the FiFi Russian Fragrance Awards 2018 for the best niche collection, which she received for the De Vita Angela Ciampagna trilogy. She is currently working on creating an experimental garden in Tenerife to enrich her collection of extracts with new exclusive raw materials for use in her new developments.
