Meet Rami Mekdachi, perfumery’s most accomplished polymath.
Rami Mekdachi has a thing for places. They are what most inspire the maverick art director’s work.
“When I enter a place, it has a particular ambience”, says the Paris-based Mekdachi, who adds that he perceives ambience as warm or cold, depending on the textures, colors, music, sounds and people.
Since founding his company, Mekdachi’s ability to tune the nuances of a locale into marketable products has been sniffed out by an elite crowd of tastemakers. Still, Mekdachi remains one of beauty’s best-kept secrets, perhaps because in an industry full of razzledazzle, he keeps a low profile. His attire-a black sweatshirt, T-shirt and blue jeans-reflects a casual nature but relies a needle-sharp vision of work.
