In this episode of Karmic Mirror, we delve into the invisible yet powerful connection between scent and memory, and how our sense of smell can act as a mirror, reflecting back hidden layers of our story and soul.
Our guest, Riccardo Halac-Ruggeroni, is a perfumer and creator whose path into fragrance began while working in fashion. What started as an exploration of childhood “scent moments” through candles grew into a full body of work blending memory, artistry, and cultural lineage. In 2015, Riccardo left fashion to dedicate himself fully to perfumery, teaching himself the craft from the ground up. Today, through his brand RHR Luxury, he creates fragrances that do more than scent a room; they carry stories, histories, and the power to remind us of who we are.
We dive into:
Riccardo shares how scent supports rediscovery, why working with real materials matters in his process, and the alchemy of choosing which feelings or moments to create from. He reflects on nostalgia, longing, and the surprising way fragrance can hold us when we’re navigating change.
