MATTEO PARFUMS is a green science-based, fine fragrance company backed by neurochemical research. We’re shattering conventions in the antiquated fragrance industry through community empowerment, championing inclusivity and accessibility, and demystifying the opaque industry for more minority perfumers and fragrance owners to enter the scene. I’m Matthew J. Sánchez, America's youngest Latino male perfumer, and I’m the founder and perfumer of MATTEO PARFUMS.
Through storytelling and the mindful use of unique, clean, luxury ingredients, MATTEO PARFUMS celebrates multicultural heritages with longer-lasting formulations created with mood-elevating properties based in green chemistry. Encouraging Latinos and people of color to pursue STEM careers, like fragrance and cosmetic sciences, MATTEO PARFUMS offers educational and entrepreneurial workshops, events, and mentorship, to increase representation and promote mental health, well-being, and creativity through scent creation. With less than 2% of perfumers being people of color, our visibility and mentorship is cultivating the next generation of diverse fragrance creators.
