The House Of Oud

Andrea Casotti's Concept: An Emotional Freestyle
Andrea Casotti is a nuclear engineer, a street artist and a perfumer: a chameleon explorer who, with his unique vision, blends dynamics, colors and ingredients to create fragrances that tell different stories, distant universes, but always with a vibrant synthesis.

"Mine is a fusion of two souls," says Andrea. "Inspiration and method, art and study. My degree in Engineering taught me to channel concentration and discipline into a stimulating path, while my passion for art has remained alive and intact. In a fragrance laboratory, art and engineering have come together, giving life to what I am today."

Today, Andrea is CEO of CFF , the youngest and most important Italian perfume house. Every day is a mix of numbers, meetings with extraordinary people and moments to tell. "I lead the factory of my passion and I do the most beautiful job in the world", he says proudly.

Over the years, Andrea has created The House of Oud , to tell stories through fragrances, to explore the beauty, raw materials and places that inspire him. Today, with THoO , he has taken a new direction: the contamination of different styles, from painting to art, to enrich his creative path and enrich his olfactory creations. THoO is for him like an open book, in which to immerse oneself and draw inspiration from every element of life.

"Know-how, combined with passion, is the key to success," says Andrea, quoting Pearl S. Buck: "The secret of joy in your work is contained in one word – excellence. Knowing how to do something well is to enjoy it fully."
