About Richard Herpin

Richard Herpin is a French perfumer, born and raised in Cannes. He grew up among antiques and the smells of his father's shop.

He now works independently and co-founded the brand Precious Liquid with his wife, Geo.

Herpin's best-known creation is Tom Ford Oud Wood (2007). He later created Oud Wood Intense (2017) and Patchouli Absolu (2014) for Tom Ford.
