about Us
The beginning of a fragrant journey...
My name is Holger Dubben and I have been fascinated by fragrances since my youth.
After graduating from high school, I considered becoming a perfumer, but was put off by the lengthy training period and the lack of certainty about my suitability for this profession, so I decided to study pharmacy at the Ruprecht-Karls-University in Heidelberg.
But even during my 23 years as a pharmacist, perfumes never lost their fascination for me. My passion grew into a private collection of over 100 fragrances, and the idea of ââturning my love for these fragrant works of art into my profession grew stronger and stronger.
In 2019, I therefore decided to sell my pharmacies and bring the world of exquisite fragrances to the center of Cologne.
The idea of ââthe fragrance art shop was born.
After around 4.5 years in the Belgian Quarter, we finally opened our new offices in June 2024, right in the center of Cologne (directly on Rudolfplatz) at PfeilstraĂe 16.
Experience & competence
Through my many years of experience with perfume, fragrance families, personality development and coaching, and my expertise as a natural scientist with regard to ingredients and their extraction in the field of fragrance and cosmetics, as well as my knowledge of the anatomy of the skin and the physiology of our olfactory perception, I offer solid specialist knowledge for well-founded and individual advice.
