Morgenthaler
Co-Founder & Master Perfumer ![]() Rene
Morgenthaler was born in Geneva Switzerland, where he began his career as an
apprentice in chemistry with Givaudan. Shortly after completion of his
apprenticeship, he was selected to attend the newly formed Perfumery School at
Givaudan. Over the next several years,
Rene rose through the ranks with postings in Switzerland, Argentina and the US
– where he became Senior Vice President and Chief Perfumer in 1989. He continued in this role until 2001, when he
took on the challenge of leading the creation group of Givaudan Access (an
innovative on-line fragrance and flavor business model) as Global Lead,
Fragrance Catalogue. Rene decided to
retire from Givaudan in 2003. Retirement
was short-lived, however, as many companies looked to Rene for his
expertise. As a result, Rene has shared
his knowledge and expertise with Mane, Fragrance Resources and Manheimer. In 2009, he co-founded SmartFragrances LLC,
where this Master Perfumer continues with his passion to create new and
exciting fragrances. Dan Offermann Co-Founder & Director ![]() |
