The perfumer / richard herpin

“Creating a perfume is like making a sketch of a scene in real life. First, you capture a particular emotional moment; then you add some colors and flesh out the details.”

Richard Herpin

Richard Herpin grew up in Cannes, in the south of France near the heart of the perfume industry, surrounded by the beautiful antiques in his father’s shop and in his home. As a child, he remembers being told: “Be careful, Richard! That is an important antique!” In this way, he came to respect and appreciate fine things, developing in him a deep-seated aesthetic sense.

He often finds himself nostalgic for the odors he remembers from his father’s atelier, especially those of the precious woods that were heated, cut, inlaid and varnished. Watching his father sculpt was inspiring; he would begin with a simple piece of wood and would shape it into a true work of art as Richard watched. Sharing in his father’s creativity led Richard to begin his quest to discover his own creative work.

Master Perfumer Pierre Bourdon was part of the family circle. The two men began to share smelling sessions together; soon Richard developed a deep interest in perfumery. Pierre became his mentor – and the person whom he credits with teaching him an important lesson: “Get straight to the essence of a fragrance and leave aside unnecessary details. Creating a perfume is like making a sketch of a scene in real life. First, you capture a particular emotional moment; then you add some colors and flesh out the details. But sometimes your first sketch is more powerful than anything you can add to it.”

Ingredient Story

A sparkling blend of Bergamot, Fig, cool Lavender, and rosy Geranium, offering brightness and mental clarity. Its earthy base features Patchouli, Moss, and Copaiba Oil, grounding the fragrance with a serene, contemplative essence.

Ingredient Story


Amber God Elixir Oil serves as the core of Potentia, a catalyst for personal transformation through scent. Rich Vanilla, opulent Labdanum and Amber meld with Incense and Sandalwood lending a sumptuous warmth.

AMBER

Vanilla is an old spice grown by the Ancient Mexicans and thought to be a gift from the gods. The Vanilla Pod grows from the Orchid plant and is used in both fragrance and flavor. Aztecs used it to flavor chocolate and taught the practice to the Spanish conquistadors who carried it with them to Europe in the 15th century. The allure of Vanilla quickly spread, leading to its cultivation as far as Madagascar. The warm, sweet and comforting aroma of Vanilla is one of the most well-known in the world.
