Miroslav Petkov

Miroslav Petkov, a renowned Bulgarian perfumer, began his journey in the world of fragrances in his hometown of Plovdiv. His passion for creating unique perfumes and his ambition to expand internationally ultimately led him to leave Bulgaria to pursue his dreams abroad.

Petkov's first stop was Argentina, but within a year he moved to Spain, where his career truly took off. He gained recognition for creating the formulas for the B9 and Soho perfumes, owned by the American company Bond No. 9. This success made him the only Bulgarian in the exclusive circle of the world's most successful perfumers. Petkov developed nine more successful perfume formulas for Bond No. 9's Dubai Collection series.

Currently working for the Spanish company Iberchem, Petkov focuses on the affluent Middle Eastern markets. However, his fine perfumery has clients worldwide, including the United States, Europe, Australia, and Asia.

In several interviews, Petkov has shared that his early experiences in the perfume industry shaped his creative preferences, particularly his love for the natural aromas of spices and balms. He believes that the ultimate measure of a perfume's quality and success lies in people's opinions, and that the creation of a fragrance therefore depends heavily on the market for which it is intended. Despite the numerous evaluations that guide the development of a perfume, Petkov still highly values ​​and maintains the freedom to experiment and explore new nuances.

Recognizing that different cultures have unique attitudes toward perfume, Petkov adopts the philosophy that “a good perfume is good everywhere.”

Throughout his career, Miroslav Petkov has collaborated with brands such as Adleen Haute Parfumerie, Arabesque Perfumes, Arabian Oud, Attar Collection, Bond No 9, Floraïku, Ghalati, Headspace, La Maison Orientale, Odecla and Xerjoff . Some of his most popular creations include Xerjoff Dolce Amalfi , Attar Collection Azora, Arabesque Perfumes Kohel, Xerjoff Cruz del Sur I and Bond No 9 NoMad.
