Master Perfumer

Ezra Woods

Ezra Woods grew up surrounded by flowers. Born in Los Angeles, he comes from four generations of Southern California florists, a lineage that shaped his nose long before he ever picked up a fragrance bottle. He started wearing cologne every day when he was young—specifically Orange Verte by Hermès—and that early obsession with scent became the foundation for everything that followed. Before entering perfumery, Ezra worked as a high-end stylist, dressing some of the biggest names on red carpets. His transition from fashion to fragrance happened organically, driven by a desire to create something more permanent than a look that disappears at the end of the night. In 2014, he co-founded Régime des Fleurs with Alia Raza, bringing his trained eye and unconventional background to the world of luxury fragrance. The brand quickly distinguished itself with its hand-blended, art-forward approach—an aesthetic rooted in Ezra's belief that scent should be as considered and intentional as the clothes we choose to wear.

The signature

How Ezra composes

Ezra's signature lies in hand-blended compositions that walk a line between the familiar and the unexpected. His work tends toward bold, slightly narcotic floral notes paired with unexpected structural elements—aromatic, piney, and woody threads that give his fragrances their distinctive architecture. He gravitates toward ingredients with presence, building fragrances that command attention without shouting. The result feels both grounded and slightly wild, like something you recognize but can't quite name. His approach rewards wearing rather than analyzing.

Philosophy

What drives Ezra

Ezra approaches fragrance like he approaches styling—with an emphasis on personal expression over convention. Coming from fashion rather than traditional perfumery training, he resists the idea that luxury scent should play it safe. He thinks about fragrance as an extension of identity, something you can layer, remix, and make your own. That perspective shapes everything at Régime des Fleurs: a refusal to treat perfume as mere decoration and a commitment to creating scents that feel genuinely considered. For Ezra, the question is never whether something smells nice, but whether it smells true.
