Andrea Maack
ANDREA MAACK is a luxury fragrance brand founded by Icelandic visual artist Andrea Maack. The brand was born through a series of scented art exhibitions. The brand reflects Maack's desire to approach fragrance through a visual artist standpoint. All the fragrances in the collection have been developed with a unique artistic approach, using the highest quality raw materials and embody elements of Maack's travels, artistic explorations and her profound relation with her native Iceland.
Andrea Maack was born and raised in Reykjavík Iceland and completed a B.A in visual arts in 2005. Her background and general passion for fashion and beauty became apparent when she started her art career, where she quickly became known for her romantic minimalistic installations showing the world of beauty and fashion through the eyes of a visual artist.
For her, the link between the two mediums is a palpable one. “I see scent as a linear thing — it travels along your skin and travels through the air, which can be reminiscent of strokes traveling across a page.” The visual artist approaches the world of perfumery with a fresh vision.
The quality of the Andrea Maack fragrances are a result of selecting the best quality raw materials and accessing new innovative molecules. Collected from all around the world, these raw ingredients are often rare and gathered by traditional methods that are time sensitive. Working with flowers, fruits, aromatic herbs, spices, roots and wood, Andrea Maack continues to favor natural ingredients as they offer great olfactive experience and provide rich, rounded fragrances.
Andrea Maack fragrances are formulated sustainably and are comprised of 88-89% natural ingredients of which 80% are certified organic, with raw ingredients sourced from IFF Grasse, the world leader in providing organic materials for perfume.
The base of their fragrances is 100% organic Icelandic alcohol and Icelandic water. All of their products are vegan, cruelty free, gluten-free and ethically-sourced.
