For his first-ever long format English-speaking interview on YouTube, Adi Ale Van reveals the artistic inspirations behind his handcrafted bottles and compositions - from reclaimed metal to hand-painted wood - along with the deep-rooted Romanian traditions, history and culture that fuel his creativity. Michele Marin provides a look into the formulation and inspiration behind "Leaves in the Wind". He also offers an exclusive teaser of a potential award-winning fragrance arriving in late autumn 2026.
