• Daniel works at the intersection of scent, art and ritual
• His work extends beyond fragrance into multi-sensory experiences and neuroscience research
• Drawing on rice, angelica and terroir-driven oils, he composes scents as cultural objects

Before formally training in perfumery at ISIPCA, Daniel Pescio worked in marketing in Brazil and semiotics and film in France. This hybrid background informs a practice that treats scent as both language and medium. Daniel moves fluidly between disciplines, working across fragrance creation, sensory education and artistic research. He develops synesthetic works such as drinkable perfumes, and draws on Japanese culture and the ritual art of kodo. Additionally, he explores oud resins through structured frameworks. His approach is defined by a sensitivity to place, and the raw materials he works with become carriers of geography, memory and narrative. “I am driven by the belief that scent can shape perception, education and emotion,” Daniel explains.
