He earned a PhD in neuroscience with a focus on memory function and held a teaching position at the University of Amsterdam before fully dedicating himself to perfumery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"454\" data-end=\"1043\"\u003eIn 2009, his life took a decisive turn when he attended an introductory perfume course. Inspired by the first generation of independent niche perfumers—who proved that a formal education at a fragrance house was not the only path—Drosopoulos began an intensive period of self-study, experimenting with hundreds of raw materials. By 2012, he was working full-time as an independent perfumer, and in 2015 he founded his own brand, \u003cem data-start=\"883\" data-end=\"891\"\u003eBaruti\u003c\/em\u003e, named after the Greek word for “gunpowder.” His scientific background gives him a unique understanding of how scent interacts with memory and emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1045\" data-end=\"1500\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1045\" data-end=\"1078\"\u003eBaruti, Zoologist, and Beyond\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1081\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1045\" data-end=\"1500\"\u003eDrosopoulos draws inspiration from music, art, and sensory contrasts.
