After starting out in Grasse with Robertet, Serge Oldenbourg joined Dragoco (now Symrise) where he worked as a perfumer-creator in Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Holzminden. Always curious, he is as much interested in natural materials as in synthetic or biotechnological products. His knowledge of different cultures on several continents gives him an understanding of markets and trends. His efforts were focused on the development of fragrances for the body care, soap, and detergent sectors. Today, he pursues his passion as a consultant, to follow the technical and creative developments of the perfumery industry.
