Romano Ricci, born in 1978, is the great-grandson of designer Nina Ricci and grandson of Robert Ricci, who created L'Air du Temps — yet he chose to become a self-taught perfumer rather than lean on his fashion pedigree.
He honed his craft for seven years alongside Francis Kurkdjian, Isabelle Maillebiau, and Pierre Bourdon before founding the feminine fragrance house Juliette Has a Gun in 2007, its name reimagining Shakespeare's Juliet as a modern, armed symbol of female liberation. He is also a co-founder of the brand Nose.

Radiant luminosity and ethereal transparency. Kurkdjian's fragrances glow — they possess an inner light that makes them feel both airy and profound. His palette favors ambroxan, saffron, and delicate florals, composed with a musician's instinct for harmony.

Refined elegance and measured sophistication. Polge's compositions for Chanel embodied the house's aesthetic — never too much, never too little, always precisely right. His fragrances have the quiet authority of impeccable tailoring.

Noble materials and classical structure. Creed fragrances are built around the finest natural ingredients — ambergris, royal water, hand-selected musks — composed in the traditional infusion method that has defined the house for centuries.
