Angelos Creations Olfactives

Angelos Créations Olfactives is the niche house of Angelos Balamis, an independent Greek perfumer based in Thessaloniki. Balamis trained in Paris and Grasse, interned in several French perfumery laboratories, and earned the praise of Dominique Ropion before launching his own line in 2018. The brand presents itself as artisanal in the literal sense — small batches, hand-finished, almost entirely Balamis's own work. His aesthetic is maximalist within a classical frame: dense floral and balsamic compositions, hesperidic openings that give way to long animalic and resinous bases, and a willingness to over-dose materials in the way mid-century perfumery did. Tabac Libre, Πνοή, and Narkissos sit at the centre of the catalogue. Distribution runs through European niche specialists and a direct site, and the house remains genuinely small in scale — a one-perfumer studio in a Greek port city.
