Jordi Fernández
A concise research paper on Jordi Fernández, the self-taught Givaudan perfumer known for oud-focused luxury fragrances and major releases such as Montblanc Explorer, Blue Talisman, and Oud Maracujá. It covers his background, style, key fragrance houses, and the connection between his work and bottles in Marc’s collection.
This paper profiles Jordi Fernández as a major modern perfumer, tracing his path from Catalonia and Eurofragrance to his senior role at Givaudan, where he became especially known for blending Middle Eastern oud traditions with contemporary luxury perfumery. It analyzes his style, ranks his most important houses—such as Montblanc, Ex Nihilo, Maison Crivelli, Widian, Parfums de Marly, and Carner Barcelona—and highlights representative fragrances including Explorer, Blue Talisman, Oud Maracujá, and Liwa.
The paper also ties that research back to Marc’s collection by identifying bottles linked to Fernández’s work, including Explorer, Blue Talisman, Brompton Immortals, Oud Maracujá, Liwa, and Haltane.
