Some destinies are not discovered, but revealed. Riccardo Halac-Ruggeroni belongs to this rare category.

Founder of RHR Luxury, this self-taught perfumer has transformed a collection of olfactory souvenirs into a house of fragrances that defies the conventions of contemporary luxury.

Born between grandparents who were master coffee roasters and a father who was a distiller, Jean-Charles Sommerard grew up among flowers, alembics, essential oils and perfume.

For this perfumer, bestselling author and teacher at the École Supérieure du Parfum, a fragrance is far more than a delicate olfactory caress. It is almost an act of sorcery—capable of lifting souls and transforming lives! And he delights in this magic every day.

Today, drawing on his rich experience with companies and industries in the world of cosmetics and fragrance, he has chosen to keep only the purest essence: to rise higher, into the realm of pure creation—crafting confidential perfumes infused with meaning and sensation.
