Perfumer – Seekwood
Becoming a perfumer wasn’t on Spyros Drosopoulos’ radar initially. The perfume industry seemed too closed off to consider. But the emergence of niche perfumers inspired Spyros, showing that creativity could transcend traditional schooling. With a Ph.D. in neuropsychology and sleep, Spyros made a bold career move, started experimenting with raw materials and taught himself the art of perfumery. Through self-study and courses, he honed his craft, ultimately becoming an autodidact and a respected niche perfumer. Today, Spyros owns his brand, Baruti.

Packaging designer
Joost la Housse is an independent strategic brand- & packaging designer, and above all an out-of-the box thinker. The Annindriya team enjoys to collaborate with Joost for many years, when creating products as perfume designers for other brands.
Joost is a true believer of co-working. “I cherish and enjoy teamwork with others in order to let the brand breathe, live and grow and make it relevant. I constantly strive for perfection and continue to develop and refine myself. I hope to deliver bespoke outstanding distinctive concepts and designs with a high degree of involvement. This process is reflected in my collaboration. In France they call it ‘savoir-faire’: skilled, competent and sociable.”
