HFC Paris - Haute Fragrance Company

What happens when some of the world’s finest artists come together to create something new and uniquely their own? HFC (Fragrance Company) is the answer. The unique HFC project brings together some of the finest artists and artisans from around the world, all wanting to make our dreams come true. Who are the artists behind the brand? Here are a few of the creators. First is Vincent Ricord, born in Grasse into a well-known family of perfumers. At first, Vincent Ricord wanted to study art and music, but he found his calling as a kind of artistic fragrance composer. Among this renowned group, he created the Original Collection and the Black Collection, and is responsible for the fragrances. Also part of the team is Benoit Bergia, who was also born and raised in Grasse in a family of perfumers. What’s more, his great-grandfather owned the company that produced and distributed natural raw materials to the leading perfume houses. For HFC (Fragrance Company) , Benoit created the Asia Collection. The only woman in this talented group is Megan Hess, a world-renowned fashion illustrator who created all the illustrations in the book Sex and the City. For HFC (Fragrance Company), she illustrated three of the company’s leading fragrances. Another illustrator is Arturo Elena, a renowned Spanish artist who creates fashion illustrations for several luxury brands and magazines, including Vogue, Cosmopolitan and Audemars Piguet. And to give you an idea of just how cosmopolitan this brand is, another member of the team is Kim Xu. Kim is often considered one of the most important artists in China. His art, which combines two traditional Chinese watercolor techniques, is a powerful reflection of his personality and life experiences. Kim is responsible for the illustrations for the Asia Collection. Finally, Matteo Cibic, a famous Italian designer and owner of Matteo Cibic Studio, rounds off this distinguished list. Over the years, Matteo has created decorative objects for collectors and international brands. His work is on display at major museums, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Glass Museum in Shanghai and the Design Museum in Milan. He tends to use an experimental approach to the creative process, enabling him to develop bold, original projects that combine different materials and manufacturing technologies. Matteo actively works as an independent consultant with companies such as Benetton Group, Sisley, Furla, Nespresso, Gas Jeans, La Rinascente and Miart, and serves as the creative director of the HFC (Fragrance Company) brand.
