ParfumPlus Arabia

PP : LOOKING AHEAD TO 2026 AND NEW MARKETS, HOW WILL YOU ADAPT YOUR PRODUCTS AND APPROACH TO REGIONAL PREFERENCES? CD : 2026 will focus on deepening regional engagement, particularly in the GCC. Dubai is our growth platform, connecting Europe, Asia and Africa. Our goal is faster, tailored solutions, enabling fragrance development and sampling within days. The next step is expanding the Dubai hub to combine creative development and analytics, creating a true Creative & Analytics Centre. Our diverse team mirrors the city: German precision meets Arab customer orientation, reflecting our values of Independent, Inspiring, and In Partnership. PP : LEADERSHIP AND CULTURE ARE CENTRAL TO YOUR SUCCESS. HOW DO YOU INSPIRE YOUR TEAMS TO UPHOLD CREATIVITY, QUALITY, AND INNOVATION? CD : Leadership begins with trust and respect. We give people freedom to explore creativity while setting standards for quality and responsibility. This balance allows ownership, personal growth, and excellence. Culture is lived daily, through investing in facilities in Hamburg, creating inspiring Dubai workspaces, and celebrating achievements like ‘team member of the month.’ I see myself as a sparring partner, encouraging dialogue across departments and generations. This openness, paired with our core values, drives creativity and innovation. PP : AS DÜLLBERG KONZENTRA ENTERS ITS NEXT CHAPTER, WHAT EXCITES YOU MOST ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE COMPANY AND ITS GROWTH? CD : Building bridges between tradition and the future, Europe, GCC, Asia, and the art of perfumery and science. Independence allows us to invest in creativity, sustainability, and long-lasting partnerships. The energy in Dubai, innovation in Hamburg, and access to raw materials in Jakarta give us a unique global position. I see Düllberg Konzentra becoming a trusted perfume house worldwide, authentic in creation, masterful in quality, and close to customers. Continuing my grandfather’s and father’s legacy gives me confidence and excitement every day. PP : WHAT MESSAGE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE WITH PARFUMPLUS READERS? CD : Fragrance is more than just a product; it is emotion, memory, and culture. For me, it is a universal language that connects people across borders. At Düllberg Konzentra, we are proud to contribute to this language with the craftsmanship of a family company and the reach of a global partner. To our friends and customers in the GCC: thank you for your trust and inspiration. This region has a unique fragrance culture that we deeply respect, and we are excited to continue building bridges between your traditions and our expertise. My message is simple: let us keep creating together. With creativity, quality, and partnership, we can shape fragrances that not only make products successful but also touch people’s lives. That is what inspires me every day. parfumplusmag.com P A R F U M P L U S 20
