However, Sigurd’s discernment extends beyond personal preference to practicality. With a focus on office-friendly perfumes, he seeks scents that strike the right balance, making a statement without overpowering the professional environment. The fragrances he favors seamlessly transition from day to night, providing a versatile aura suitable for any occasion.

In summary, Sigurd’s olfactory journey is a nuanced exploration of woody, oud, and floral notes, embracing gender neutrality, celebrating floral tea accords, and appreciating the art of linear compositions—all while keeping a keen eye on creating fragrances that harmonize seamlessly with the professional setting.
