Alex Lee

Alex Lee, a distinguished perfumer currently with Mane, combines his Californian roots with a profound expertise in the art of fragrance. Fascinated by scents from an early age, Lee transitioned from medical studies to perfumery, guided by his belief in fragrance as a form of emotional therapy. His journey took him from California to Grasse, the epicenter of perfume craftsmanship, where he trained at the prestigious Grasse Institute of Perfumery and ISIPCA. Lee’s creations, such as Lancôme Figues & Agrumes and Carolina Herrera Gold Myrrh Absolute, are renowned for their evocative power and innovative use of ingredients. 

Lee’s signature style is marked by his willingness to surprise and challenge himself with each fragrance. His use of sulfurol, a molecule that imparts creaminess and volume, reflects his commitment to pushing the boundaries of olfactory experience. With a career that bridges cultures and continents, Lee continues to craft perfumes that connect deeply with diverse audiences, infusing them with a fresh, emotional resonance.
