In this Fragrance Friday episode we welcome the talented Chris Collins, a former model turned fragrance innovator. Chris shares his inspiring journey from being the face of Polo Ralph Lauren to creating a fragrance line that celebrates culture and history. Despite his successful modeling career, Chris always had a deep passion for scents, which led him to train with a perfumer and embark on creating his own brand, Chris Collins Fragrances.  Chris emphasizes that storytelling is at the heart of fragrance creation, using scents to evoke emotions and transport wearers to different times and places. As the first Black perfumer with a globally distributed brand, Chris brings a fresh perspective to the fragrance industry, infusing his creations with cultural and historical significance.
