Doris Brugger has an impressive background in the fashion industry, having spent more than ten years working as the PR-Responsible for the German market alongside her close friend and mentor, the late Gianni Versace, who affectionately named her “Dorissima.” After Gianni’s untimely passing, Doris felt the need to embark on a journey across the globe.

Being a prominent PR-Lady, Doris, like many of her colleagues and acquaintances, was constantly under stress and burdened by an overwhelming workload. The demands of deadlines, incessant work hours, and frequent travel eventually took a toll on her physical and mental well-being, especially after the loss of her cherished friend and mentor.

Realizing the importance of restoring her inner balance beyond mere adherence to a healthy diet and regular exercise, Doris discovered the transformative power of natural, aromatic oils used in body products during her travels in Sri Lanka. This newfound knowledge deeply resonated with her, prompting her to explore the realm of complementary healing, embracing the benefits of massage therapy, and incorporating yoga and meditation into her lifestyle. Through these practices, Doris experienced remarkable positive changes and acknowledged the value of Eastern systems of well-being for Western consumers.

Motivated by her newfound passion for holistic well-being, Doris, also known as “Dorissima,” introduced her first scented body oil, named “Aphrodite,” and a complete line of all-natural beauty products in 2002. This venture led her to meet Italian perfumer Lorenzo Villoresi, who became a source of inspiration. Energized by her encounter with him, Doris returned to Germany with a vision to create fragrances exclusively derived from pure natural ingredients. This endeavor resulted in the launch of Dorissima “Goldmund” and Dorissima “Narziß.”

In addition to her accomplishments in the fashion and beauty industries, Doris possesses extensive knowledge in Ayurveda, holistic living, and inner beauty. Her passion for yoga extends further, as she actively engages in its practice. Doris firmly believes that these ancient and natural systems of well-being offer invaluable solutions to counterbalance the fast-paced, stress-filled environment prevalent in today’s society.

Doris Brugger’s expertise as a designer is also exhibited through her two perfumes, both launched in 2003, titled “Goldmund” and “Narziß.” Embodying her unique fragrance philosophy, Doris herself worked tirelessly on these exquisite creations.
