The Bubble Collection

eaping Bunny organization, and certified vegan by PETA. ABOUT THE FOUNDERS

After collaborating with some of the world's most iconic fashion designers and perfumers at On Trend Films for over two decades, it is only natural that the creative team of Michael Perris and Gregory Cole transform all their knowledge and dreams about fragrances into a reality. Michael Perris - a filmmaker, artist, equestrian and style philosopher podcaster - began his career in the 80’s when video exploded into the zeitgeist of marketing. His love of style and marketing landed him a position at Polo Ralph Lauren. Lauren, he created and oversaw the Media Services department. While at Polo, Michael collaborated with L’Oreal, the fragrance licensee, on several of the brand’s early successes. Gregory Cole - a luxury marketer, actor-model-playwright, and award-winning natural bodybuilder - sought the world of bespoke menswear and luxury goods when he moved to New York City in the early 90’s. His passion for fragrances began when he oversaw the successful North American launch of Alfred Dunhill’s EDITION FOR MEN. Later, he specialized in youth-market branding, working on such fragrances as RALPH BY RALPH LAUREN and KATY PERRY'S INDI. The creative team of Perris and Cole kicked off in the late 90’s when they came up with the visual concept, as well as directed a film, for ROMANCE BY RALPH LAUREN - the designer’s biggest blockbuster. As a result, the team of Perris and Cole became a sought-after name in the fragrance community. They went on to collaborate, develop, and direct concepts and brands that are among the industry’s biggest successes. Tom Ford Black Orchid, Michael Kors Fragrances and Marc Jacobs Perfume are just some of the many legendary niche and prestige fragrances that are among the Perris and Cole stellar portfolio. Now, Perris and Cole, these seekers of new experiences and advocates for celebrating life’s moments, have embarked on The Bubble Collection. TEAM MEMBERS

Wander Bubble SANTORINI

Vince came of age in a chemistry lab, where his first job as a
lab tech ignited his fascination with the magic of perfumery. He sees the craft as a dynamic balance of art and science—a balance that is always moving, changing, evolving. For inspiration, Vince turns to music, from Bach, Mozart and Beethoven straight through to the Beatles and Pearl Jam. He is apt to describe his fragrance creations in the language of color, and has an instinctive feel for the nuances of subtle variation in value and tone. Vice President/Senior Perfumer at MANE, Vince is a master of fragrances that are easy to wear and make you feel good. A native New Yorker
and a 40-year industry veteran, Vince is also President of the American Society of Perfumers. Claude Dir

Upon completion of his university studies, Claude joined MANE as a chemist. Trained in MANE’s own School of Perfumery and Flavors, Claude was instrumental in helping to build MANE’s US perfumery presence.
