This is the story of a world traveler’s love of Far Eastern scents. His work as a perfumer has taken Egon Oelkers to Cannes, New York, Geneva, Paris and Hamburg, but he has primarily been formed as a person by his journeys to the Asia. Here he has repeatedly encountered the sophisticated spices, fruit scents and rare woods that in a subtle way are to be found again in many of his fragrances.
Egon Oelkers looks back on a career meanwhile spanning almost 40 years. The graduate chemist commenced training as a perfumer with the long-established Haarmann & Reimer company in Holzminden in 1967. Oelkers has since achieved renown not simply with his creations, but though a parallel dedication to training a new generation of perfumers
Oelkers’ compositions are notable for their discreet luxury and fine balance of fragrances. Extensive hikes in the mountains are his most frequent source of inspiration.
For Thorsten Biehl, Egon Oelkers has created three perfumes in the biehl. parfumkunstwerke gallery:
eo01 : warming.
eo02: classic select.
eo03 : extravagant.
