Sofia Bellini — Master Perfumer & Scent Profile Lead
Master Perfumer & Scent Profile Lead
Sofia Bellini leads scent-profile and note-finder coverage for Aroma Paradise. She maps fragrance families — sandalwood, vanilla, rose, oud, coconut, cherry blossom, saffron, petrichor — to specific SKUs in the Aroma Paradise catalogue, so readers searching what does sandalwood smell like arrive at a recommendation grounded in a real product, not a marketing description.
Sofia trained in perfumery in Grasse and worked for a decade composing fragrances for small luxury brands before transitioning into scent-education writing. Her note-finder articles for Aroma Paradise build on that compositional eye: each one breaks the family down into top, heart, and base accords, names the iconic fragrances in the family, and recommends Aroma Paradise oils, mists, or incense that deliver the experience.
She is also the author of the diffuser-format primer that runs at the top of each note-finder page — the one that explains why a 30 ml regular oil and a 30 ml waterless oil cost different amounts and which goes into which kind of diffuser.
