Founder & CEO

Ömer Kadir Kurt

Tallinn, Estonia · Born in Trabzon, Türkiye

Ömer Kadir Kurt is the founder and CEO of Fragnatique, the AI perfume advisor built by Appthos Studio OÜ in Tallinn. The company started as his idea, and its core is his own engineering: he conceived the product and wrote the matching algorithm and the Scent Graph it runs on, a structured model that reads fragrance the way a trained nose would, then reasons across the whole field at once.

His background is in AI-native product engineering, with deep work in vision-language models, mobile architecture, and structured-data systems for fields that have always relied on tacit expertise. Under his direction the Scent Graph grew to cover thousands of fragrances and hundreds of individual notes, and it now drives everything from the personal match score to the Scent Lab, where a user composes an original perfume and exports a production-ready formula.

He moved Fragnatique to Tallinn to build from inside the Estonian deep-tech ecosystem, and he runs the company on one conviction: that fragrance is a data problem first and a consumer product second.
