Career or vocation? Arturetto Landi is really a chemist, drawn into the world of the art of perfume by chance. Traveling to England after graduation, all he wanted to do was to learn English as the prelude to a career at sea. That changed when he landed a casual job with a scent company. His interest in scent had been aroused and his next career assignment, in Australia, turned out to be in the perfume sector.

Landi took his decision. He had done with chemistry and wanted to become a perfumer. His training took him to H&R in Holzminden; his career to New York, Paris, Tokyo, Hamburg and Vienna, among other centers. Today Arturetto Landi resides in Germany, homeland of his choice.

Landi’s perfumes are opulent, complex and composed as grand opera for the nose. For his love of the sensual, he must have his father, a chef, to thank, also his childhood on the Italian Riviera. Rather than draw inspiration solely from the past, however, fragrance designer Landi is also very happy to do so from far-off places, being especially fond of the scents of Arabia.

For Thorsten Biehl, Arturetto Landi has created two perfumes in the biehl. parfumkunstwerke gallery: elegant, refined al01 and seductive, self-assured al02. al01 was launched in 2007.
