Christopher DiCas
Christopher DiCas, born in Piraeus, on 16 November 1985, is a Greek actor and model interested and passionate about all the arts, who, since 2011, has started getting involved in fragrances that bear his name. After the collaboration with the German group N.W.A., which produced his eponymous perfume, in 2018 DiCas opened his own company with which he produces high perfumery products.

During his teens, Christopher decided to become an actor at the age of 15, because he understood that he needed to express himself. So he went to study alongside the great Greek actor Vassilis Diamantopoulos and got a grip of what the actor’s occupation is.

After graduating high school, he joined the marine special forces to do his compulsory military service and simultaneously passed the Ministry of Culture examination in order to attend Dramatic schools in 2002.

Simultaneously he got into University and started studying Psychology and monody in National Odeum and continued in National Athens Odeum in 2005.

Multi-versed, with his finger in many pies — acting, psychology, music, and modeling — DiCas is the kind of person to creatively immerse himself in various media that have to do with the senses.

With roots in Southern Chios, Eastern Romulia, and the Peloponnese, he began to travel and get to know the rest of the world from an early age, both with his family and with the collaborations he made either as an actor, as a performer, or as a model, and he began to collect perfumes, ever since he realized their power. He knew instinctively that perfume is like a magic potion, and therefore valuable, mysterious, and unique.

His perfume line “The Absolute Extract Series” consists of two perfumes: 69 and Christopher DiCas L'Extrait/Le Parfum. It targets the most demanding lovers of modern luxury, since it contains the highest content of essential oils of any other product (25% concentration of essential oils in alcohol of 95 degrees), with no concessions on quality whatsoever. The alcohol comes from beetroot, ensuring the proper spotlight on the properties of the cold-expressed essential oils used.

The two fragrances come in a luxurious and classic version of an ancient perfume jar that was called lekythos (λήκυθος) in classical antiquity. The rounded bottle bears characteristic gold print with a sketch of the perfumer — a throwback to lekythoi's depiction of heroes from Greek mythology. A childhood friend of Christopher DiCas, designer George Iliadis — knowing his first love for Greek mythology as well as for classical style — created the design of the bottle as a gift.

The boxes of the bottles come in black and matte purple respectively, with gold edges and a logo in gold at the top along with the word άρωμα in Hellenistic Koine, and the word parfum since the compositions are made in Grasse, France.
