Rosendo Mateu is the spitting image of a self-made man, which is reflected in his work and above all in the perfectionism that surrounds each of his creations. For 40 years, Mateu has been one of the specialists at Puig, one of the most prestigious perfume companies in the world. During that time he has developed dozens of fragrances, which bear his personal signature and the ambition to achieve a unique product.
After his work for some of the largest international brands, Mateu dedicated part of his time to more ambitious projects such as the development of personalized perfumes, which led him to study topics as diverse as the Greek civilization, the Roman Empire or the painting of Francis Bacon. Precisely with the latter, he took on one of the biggest challenges any fragrance expert can face: designing a fragrance for an exhibition dedicated to the English painter. He spent months studying the smell of paints, canvases, humidity levels, and even the time when Bacon lived and worked. The result gives an idea of the level of involvement that this veteran teacher assumes with each of his projects.
Since 2017, the Rosendo Mateu collection has been available in the best stores in the world. An impeccable product, from the hand of a man who has dedicated his life to the world of fragrances.
