Born and raised in Catalonia, Spain, Jordi Fernández is a senior perfumer at Givaudan, one of the world's leading fragrance and flavor companies. At a young age, Jordi was attracted to the art of perfumery. Unlike many perfumers, who followed a traditional path by studying at the ISIPCA perfume school in Versailles, Jordi is a self-taught perfumer.

Jordi started his career in perfumery at Eurofragrance, a family business in Barcelona. There he quickly proved his talent and creativity as a perfumer, with a deep understanding of the science behind fragrance formulation. However, Jordi was eager to broaden his horizons and work with some of the world's most luxurious brands.

In 2010, Jordi joined Givaudan, where he has since collaborated with numerous high-end fragrance brands, including Montblanc, Carolina Herrera, Versace, and Dolce Fiore, among others. Jordi's expertise in traditional Middle Eastern perfumery has earned him a reputation as a master of oud and other exotic fragrances. He has spent many years immersing himself in Middle Eastern culture, meeting people and visiting places to gain a deep understanding of the region's fragrance preferences and traditions.

Jordi's versatility as a perfumer is evident in his ability to create fragrances in a variety of genres. From minimalist to opulent, his style is versatile, and he is equally comfortable composing fragrances for men and women. His minimalist style is showcased in Montblanc Explorer, his most popular fragrance to date, which he developed in collaboration with Antoine Maisondieu and Olivier Pescheux. The fragrance is characterized by notes of bergamot, vetiver and patchouli, and has been praised for its elegant simplicity.
