Chris Collins

Chris Collins is a New York based niche fragrance brand founded by former Ralph Lauren model and ambassador Chris Collins in 2018. According to the brand's official site, Collins decided that year to turn his long standing passion for scent into a company bearing his name, initially launching with a small collection that has grown to more than a dozen fragrances. Fragrantica and retailer listings group the scents into collections such as Dark Romance, Harlem Renaissance, Master of Oud, Anima and Rubeus, reflecting different themes in his storytelling approach.

A key part of the brand's origin story is Collins's connection with perfumer Kilian Hennessy and his time studying perfume creation in Grasse, France, which is documented in interviews and background pieces. Many of the early releases, including Harlem Nights and Danse Sauvage, are inspired by the cultural history of Harlem and Paris. Later lines like Master of Oud, which includes scents such as Lust Oud Delice and Oud Galore, focus on rich oud and gourmand combinations, while Rubeus is sold in ruby colored bottles and centers on themes of passion and intensity.

The brand is positioned as luxury niche, with extrait and eau de parfum concentrations typically sold at premium price points through retailers like Sephora, Luckyscent and select boutiques. Signature compositions often feature coffee, cacao and nutty accords blended with woods or oud, as seen in Sweet Taboo, Long Kiss Goodnight and Lust Oud Delice. Overall, The World of Chris Collins has built its identity on narrative driven, sensual compositions that connect fashion, travel and Black cultural history with contemporary niche perfumery.
