Her deep knowledge of fragrance, from raw materials and olfactive history to emerging scent and consumer trends, has made her a trusted voice at the intersection of creativity and commerce. Throughout her career, Marta has helped brands translate fragrance into meaningful product experiences, navigate evolving market demands, and cultivate lasting consumer loyalty in an increasingly competitive landscape.
From global organizations to emerging start-ups, she believes that a distinctive olfactive identity can become one of a brand’s most powerful signature, shaping the product experience, strengthening emotional connection, and helping define its place in the market.
