The creative nose behind cult-loved blends from Orca Parfums and DEKODE

The creative nose behind cult-loved blends and the perfumer who helped bottle Filipino landscapes for GP Fragrances. Gib’s work shows up where storytelling meets science. He’s the perfumer credited for Orca’s NeroStar and multiple DEKODE releases, projects that earned buzz in the local frag community for quality and signature style. 

Recently, he helped build the GP x NOAH “Elements” series, translating places we love into scent. His piece, Banaue Bliss, interprets the rice terraces in notes of damp earth, moss, and rice, cool morning air captured in a bottle. National media even spotlighted how Filipino perfumers like Gib are “bottling” Siargao, Baguio, and Banaue for a new generation of wearers. 

Why it matters: Gib represents the momentum of Philippine perfumery, crafting locally, thinking globally, and proving that world-class fragrances can be born right here. Fragrance databases already list Orca with Gib as the nose, another sign that our niche scene is stepping onto the world stage. If you’re into fragrances that feel like a story, and a place, you’ll want to follow what he does next.
