Erol Meshulam, Turkey’s first perfumer and board member of MG International Fragrance Company, was honored with a surprise party at the company’s plant in honor of his 50-year career.
Meshulam, who graduated from the Academy of Economic and Commercial Science and Ecole de Parfumerie in Geneva, first became interested in fragrance as a teen. He currently serves as head of R&D and a board member at MG International Fragrance Company, where he created the Turkish Coffee and Absolute Black Tea Essences, which were later featured at the 2018 World Perfumery Congress (WPC). He is also a member of the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) and European Flavour and Fragrance Association (EFFA).
Mişel Gülçiçek, honorary chairman of MG International Fragrance Company, Aslan Gülçiçek, CEO, and Sibel Gülçiçek Elkaza, general manager, were all in attendance. Additionally, there was a performance by alternative musician Melis Sökmen.
Meshulam gave an unprepared speech, noting how touched he was after viewing a video prepared by his family and friends. He added: “You are my family, to many happy returns, I love you all very much.”
