Forest Degiorgio

Our founder, Forest, from a young age knew he had a calling to travel the world. Always asking for more, wanting to immerse himself in whatever cultures he could, challenging himself to go to new locations and meet people who would challenge his point of view and provide a new perspective in which to look out onto the world. He was lucky enough to make this dream his reality and traveled all around the world in search of experiences that would satiate and evolve his curiosity.

Forest’s work as an artisan perfumer perfectly intertwined itself with his travel, and he soon discovered that one of the best ways to connect and share with people is by the scents that mean a lot to them. While Forest might not have been able to experience for himself the things and moments that have made people who they are, by smelling a flower that bloomed in rural fields or witnessing the specific concoction of herbs poured together to celebrate a rare holy day, he could begin to understand and appreciate elements of life and culture that he otherwise would never have been able to. Bringing those scents home with his own personal twist so that people all around the world could experience them is of the most utmost importance to him and his company, and has been of paramount interest throughout his life.

Through Chandu, Forest seeks to bring a sense of euphoria and freedom to his customers through scents that hearken back to the sensuality of opium in the peak of its usage. With a mere spritz of scent on your skin before you go about your day, he is passionate about instilling within you a sensuality and confidence that will immediately improve your day and outlook, and plunge you into the depths of your senses for a truly euphoric and bodily experience.
