Marija Aslimoska
Founder and owner, Parfumarija

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a scent is worth a thousand pictures. Marija Aslimoska daydreams in scent, surrounding herself with beautiful perfumes that lift the spirit and inspire. Marija is a classically trained perfumer, having learned her craft in Grasse, the traditional home of perfume in the South of France. She deepened her knowledge by working with established perfume houses in the Grasse area, with whom she continues to collaborate. Back in Dublin, immersed in perfume, Marija divides her time between creation and curation. The delightfully intriguing smells that escape from her Ranelagh laboratory, hint at some of the new scent formulations that Marija creates for both bespoke and commercial commissions, as well as of course, just for the sheer delight of discovery. On the curation side, Marija has established Parfumarija, a niche perfume boutique to provide a home for rare scents in Dublin.
