Randa Hammami
Randa Hammami grew up attuned to the expressive power of scent, shaped by her Middle Eastern roots and a natural sensitivity to fragrance from an early age. Her formal training led her through the rigorous ateliers of French perfumery before she entered the industry. Her breakthrough arrived through her work with Amouage, where she revealed a rare gift for honoring Arabian perfumery traditions while keeping her voice distinctly contemporary. Collaborating closely with masters at Guerlain and independent houses like Maison Rebatchi refined her craft. Over the years she has built a portfolio that spans luxury houses and boutique brands, including Anima Vinci and Georges Stahl, earning recognition for work that feels both rooted in tradition and genuinely modern.

The signature
How Randa composes
Hammami favors rich floral compositions, with rose, iris, and orchid appearing prominently in her work. She pairs these with warm oriental bases, often incorporating incense and vanilla for depth. Her technique emphasizes structure and intentional layering. She gravitates toward natural materials with complexity, and her finished scents tend to unfold slowly, revealing new facets over time. Incense-inflected woods and resinous notes recur as signatures, anchoring her floral heart.
Philosophy
What drives Randa
Hammami approaches each fragrance as a form of communication, a way of expressing what language cannot. She designs scents that feel personal rather than commercial, drawn from her bicultural perspective. Her creative process centers on the tension between restraint and emotional depth. She draws inspiration from memory, sensation, and the landscapes she knows well. Her goal is to create fragrances that speak to people across cultures, offering something familiar yet unexpected.
