In this episode of Olfactive Melbourne, we’re joined by Corey Veigel — founder, perfumer, and the creative heart behind Veigel Perfumes, a boutique Australian fragrance house crafting olfactory stories with soul.

Veigel Perfumes is rooted in nostalgia and personal connection, weaving memory, music, and family legacy into each composition. From humble beginnings as a fragrance collector to launching his own line, Corey’s journey is one of curiosity turned craftsmanship — where every bottle reflects a facet of his lived experience. Inspired by the people closest to him — his wife Natasha, son Leo, and the quiet moments of beauty in everyday life — Corey approaches perfumery as both art and artifact.

In this episode’s masterclass, we explore Amore Del Fico, a fig‑forward fragrance inspired by Corey’s wife’s nonno and his beloved backyard garden. Bursting with ripe fruit and layered with green, lactonic, and woody textures, it captures the warmth of memory and the intimacy of place.

We also explore the broader Veigel collection, including The Gambler, a tribute to his father steeped in whiskey, leather, and smoke; Natasha, an amber‑fruity‑floral named after his wife; and the radiant minimalism of Crystalline.

Watch or listen now as we uncover the layers of memory, emotion, and storytelling that define Corey’s creative ethos — and why for Veigel Perfumes, scent is never just scent. It’s biography in a bottle.
