The Story Behind

Ricardo Ramos Perfumes de Autor

Ricardo Ramos is an independent Spanish perfumer and pioneer of artistic perfumery, recognised for his contribution to the development of contemporary niche fragrance in Europe. Originally from Colombia, Ramos established himself as an independent creator in Spain in 2004, becoming one of the first Hispanic American perfumers to develop an artistic fragrance practice in Europe.

Known for championing the concept of “de autor” perfumery, Ricardo Ramos approaches fragrance as a form of creative expression, where scent becomes a reflection of culture, history, memory, and human experience. His work explores the connection between perfume and identity, drawing inspiration from diverse traditions and the rich heritage of olfactory culture.

With a multidisciplinary background spanning fashion design, textile art, perfumery, and historical research, Ramos brings together influences from Paris, London, Granada, Istanbul, Mumbai, and beyond. His extensive cultural exploration has shaped a unique approach to fragrance, combining artistic craftsmanship with a deep appreciation for the history and evolution of scent.

Beyond creating perfumes, Ricardo Ramos is also an educator and lecturer dedicated to exploring the cultural significance of fragrance. Through his talks on topics such as the olfactory heritage of Al-Andalus, Latin American influences in contemporary perfumery, and the history of perfume traditions, he highlights the connection between scent, heritage, and human creativity.

As the creator of GranadAroma, Spain’s first international event dedicated to independent artistic perfumery, Ramos has played an important role in supporting and promoting the world of niche fragrance. His work continues to celebrate perfume as both an art form and a cultural expression.
