Born into a family connected to the perfume industry of Grasse, Vincent Ricord grew up in Nice surrounded by stories of raw materials and travel.
Dyslexic, he found at a very young age in the laboratory a logic that suited him: smelling, combining, trying, and starting over. A senior perfumer at TechnicoFlor, he creates from an image or an emotion, much like a musician searching for the riff that can carry a song. A guitarist, bassist, and painter, he feeds his formulas with colors, rhythms, and deliberate accidents.
Curious by nature, he prefers exploring new balances rather than cultivating a fixed signature. The father of three daughters and a former teacher, he places transmission and environmental responsibility at the heart of his profession.
