About Me
My name is Cameron Liefsoens, and I am the founder and creator behind the brand Camerune. In this brief paragraph, I want to share the story of how Camerune came to life and the passion that fueled its creation. Camerune was born out of a deep passion for the art and science of perfumery. My journey began with a single, unforgettable encounter with a fragrance that would change everything—Chanel Bleu de Chanel. From the moment I first experienced its captivating scent, I was astonished by how something so simple could evoke such profound emotions. It wasn’t just the way it smelled; it was the depth, the complexity, and the way it conjured feelings of happiness and love. This experience sparked an insatiable curiosity in me, driving me to explore the world of fragrances further.

Perfume Passion
As I delved deeper, my passion for perfume grew into an obsession. I started building a personal collection, acquiring a wide array of scents from different styles and brands to broaden my understanding and appreciation of the craft. Some of my favorites quickly became staples in my collection, including Spicebomb Extreme, Tom Ford’s Oud Wood and Ombre Leather, Creed Aventus, 1 Million by Paco Rabanne, Hugo Boss Bottled, Terre d’Hermès, and Xerjoff Naxos. But it was two fragrances, in particular, that resonated with me the most—Le Male Le Parfum by Jean Paul Gaultier and The One by Dolce & Gabbana. Each of these scents offered a unique blend of notes that spoke to different facets of my personality and emotions, fueling my desire to create my own unique fragrances.
Passion Perfected
Through countless hours of experimentation and refinement, I developed a deep sense of what makes a fragrance truly special. I took on every aspect of building Camerune myself, from managing the business to promoting the brand.
At the heart of Camerune is a commitment to excellence. I am a firm believer in the power of perseverance and the pursuit of perfection. When I am motivated and passionate about something, I will follow through until it reaches a near-perfect level. This drive is reflected in every aspect of Camerune, from the quality of the raw materials I use to the experience I offer my customers. All of our perfumes are diluted with perfumers grade ethyl alcohol, ensuring a consistent and luxurious experience with every spray.
Chemistry to Scents
My academic background in Materials Chemistry at the University of Hasselt provided the perfect foundation for this new passion. As a student of chemistry, I was already fascinated by the properties of molecules, particularly those with olfactory capabilities. This scientific knowledge, combined with my newfound love for perfumery, led me to begin experimenting with raw materials. I started creating my own formulations, driven by the challenge of crafting scents that were not only beautiful but also complex and evocative.
Fragrances That Inspire
My goal with Camerune is simple: to create fragrances that not only smell incredible but also tell a story, evoke emotions, and leave a lasting impression. I want every customer to have the best possible experience with my products, which is why I strive to make each scent as perfect as it can be. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Camerune. I am excited to share this journey with you, and I hope my creations bring as much joy and inspiration to your life as they have to mine.
