Interview with the Perfumer and Founder 

Manuela Pfannes-Völkel  July 2015,

Arts and Scents is a perfume brand like no other. Here, House of Coco speaks to the founder Manuela to fiout more…

Whats your background?

Studies and degrees in social sciences, languages and cosmetology. I took courses and practical works in perfumery in Belgium, France, Italy and Mexico. My mentor is Virginia Bonofiglio (FIT New York, fragrance department).

If you could start over with the business, would you do anything different?

Definitive no, I am a visionary woman and it seems that I need to do the things that have the most challenge. The things that people call you just crazy for trying it.  

 If you had to, what piece of clothing from your wardrobe would you wear every day?

A dress from my tailor made collection of Indian silk

Favourite love song?

Chaka and Rufus Kahn Ain´t Nobody

Best place for a coffee?

Coffee with flavour after midnight: coffee, art and history at Piazza Navona in the heart of Rome

Most memorable piece of advice given to you?

It is important to believe, without vision nothing new can be created

If you could spent 24 hours in anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Mexico and always Mexico again. My heart stays there
