Expert Profile · The Fragrance World

Cenk Alhan.

Co-founder, The Fragrance World · runs the Liverpool production lab · biomedical scientist with pharmaceutical-context Good Manufacturing Practice qualifications

Cenk co-founded The Fragrance World on 5 December 2020 in Liverpool with Katie Johnson. He qualified as a biomedical scientist and earned formal Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) qualifications working in pharmaceutical environments where medicines are prepared and dispensed under regulatory oversight. Pharmaceutical GMP is the most stringent manufacturing-quality framework outside aerospace, and ISO 22716 cosmetic GMP is structurally a subset of it · the same documentation discipline, the same traceability backbone, the same controlled-environment standards. Cenk runs the TFW production lab at the Liverpool facility and applies pharmaceutical-context GMP discipline to every batch shipped.
