Wanderlust, chasing the world in every scent.

Hi! My name is Prince-Haron and meet my wife, Ayeen Nicole. Our journey began with a desire to offer a way for people to experience the world through the power of fragrance. My wife and I share a love for travel.For us, wanderlust isn’t about checking destinations off a list. It’s about collecting moments. 

Every destination becomes part of our story. Every journey becomes another memory.

Prince-Haron Mangondato

My journey did not begin at the top. I started as a laboratory assistant — a washer — a role many might not be too proud to say, but one that became the foundation of everything I am today. Surrounded by raw materials, glassware, and aromatic residues, I developed a deep respect in the fragrance industry. I progressed to Perfumer Technician, refining my understanding of formulation and fragrance structure. Determined to elevate my expertise, I completed the intensive two-year program at the prestigious Takasago Evaluation Academy, where I sharpened my knowledge on top brand market products in all categories and mastered niche fine fragrance.

Over the next 15 years, I evolved into a Fragrance Evaluator and ultimately served as a Quality Control Manager for a decade, cultivating deep expertise in raw material olfactive families, stability assessment, fine fragrance analysis, and global quality standards. In collaboration with French perfumeries, I was soon recognized at the top of my class in olfactive assessment — a distinction reflecting my sensory accuracy, consistency, and disciplined methodology. From washer to quality leader, my journey reflects perseverance, humility, and an unwavering dedication to the art and science of fragrance.

If I can do it, you can too!
