Randa Hammami
Multiple brand and interview sources highlight Hammami’s frequent use of lush white florals and sensual spices, exemplified by Guerlain Cruel Gardénia and Van Cleef & Arpels Orchidée Vanille. Her work for Amouage Epic Man showcases a darker, resinous and incense-driven oriental style, reflecting her comfort with opulent, Middle East-influenced structures as well as softer floral-gourmand compositions.
