Perfumer
Arturetto Landi
Arturetto Landi is a Senior Perfumist at MANE Dubai, with an illustrious career spanning multiple cities and countries. He initially pursued a career as a chemist, but came across the world of perfumery during a casual job at a fragrance company in England. This sparked his passion for aromas, which led him to train at H&R in Holzminden and, finally, to work in New York, Paris, Tokyo, Vienna and Dubai.
Raised on the Italian Riviera and influenced by his father’s profession as a chef, Landi developed a love for the sensual and the complex. He draws inspiration from both his past and distant places, primarily from the aromas of Arabia. His fragrances are opulent, grand, and composed like a symphony for the nose.
Landi has recently launched his perfume line, PROFUMI D'ART, after dreaming about doing it for many years. He introduced a new perfume system, packaging, and way of using the aromas inspired by the coffee industry. His line is aimed at a worldwide audience, with a fragrance, ART04, that is oriented toward the Middle East.
Landi’s fascination with agarwood, which he discovered during his first visit to the Middle East 25 years ago, has led him to master the creation of fragrances that incorporate rare and precious materials. He prefers the warm, woody, and leathery qualities in his oud oils and dislikes those that are overly animalic and with cheesy nuances.
In Landi’s opinion, the qualities that define a great perfumist are modesty, patience, imagination, passion, and the ability to recognize the good things.
