His journey began with formative childhood memories of his grandmother distilling rose oil in Cyprus—an experience that left a lasting impression.

His lack of formal training became an advantage, freeing him from conventional rules and allowing him to develop a distinctive creative voice. He is uncompromising in his commitment to quality, working primarily with high-grade natural extracts, botanicals, and precious ouds, while deliberately avoiding cheaper synthetic substitutes. He is personally involved in every stage of production, from blending to bottling and packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4720\" data-end=\"5059\"\u003eFort draws inspiration from travel, history, and personal experiences.
