Chester Gibs
From collector to creator, artist Chester Gibs is a fresh voice in the perfume world, and his debut fragrance, Walk with Me, is a true reflection of his unique artistic vision.
Olfactive artist
Chester, a graduate of The Rietveld Academy of Fine Arts in 2002, initially focused on drawing but later expanded his artistry to creating art in bottles. As a fragrance lover and devoted perfume collector, Chester had an epiphany: “I’m an artist; why can’t I express my creativity through creating perfumes myself?” This idea sparked his passion for experimenting with raw materials and oils.
Heritage
Chester’s original approach to perfumery can be traced back to his Indonesian heritage, where the scents of tropical flowers and kitchen spices inspire him. “My love for cooking taught me how ingredients smell and interact, much like perfumes,” he reflects. This blend of cultural, culinary, and olfactory instincts helped Chester craft a savory twist in his fragrance, a rarity in today’s perfume market.
What to expect from Walk with Me
It features an unusual citrus top with creamy undertones, leaving you intrigued and unable to pinpoint its exact notes. “I hope it brings joy to those who wear it, lifting spirits on the coldest days. It’s a sunny fragrance, even in the winter.” Whether you’re looking for warmth on a chilly day or a burst of brightness in your routine, this fragrance is sure to leave a lasting impression. As he continues to develop his craft, Chester Gibs is definitely a name to watch. His fragrances tell a story, and Walk With Me, his debut scent, is no exception.
