Vincent Schaller

France Born 0 Oriflame

Schaller’s style reflects his training in chemistry and engineering, with an emphasis on technically refined, long-lasting and regulatory-compliant formulas. His work ranges from the ambered warmth of Oriflame Amber Elixir to the rich oud focus of Le Labo Oud 27 and the floral-oriental character of Grès Cabotine Gold. With HOC’s 11:00 AM and 9:00 PM he explores narrative, time-of-day concepts, often translating personal place-based inspirations, such as his experiences of London, into structured, story-driven compositions.
