- Richard Saint-Ford Perfumer:
Richard Saint - Ford is a remarkable figure in the world of perfumery. He is the founder of the American fragrance brand IGGYWOO, which was established in 2024. The brand name, IGGYWOO, carries the profound meaning of “Live Your Imagination,” vividly reflecting Saint - Ford's emphasis on positive attitudes and limitless creativity.
Saint - Ford takes great pride in identifying as a second - generation perfumer. This identity is deeply rooted in his desire to pay homage to his late grandmother, a self - taught perfumer whose fragrant legacy has had a profound impact on him. By integrating the art of perfumery passed down through two generations, he has successfully forged a new path in olfactory innovation.
The inception of the IGGYWOO brand was driven by Saint - Ford's vision to evoke olfactory escapism through his creations. He aimed to break free from the shackles of convention, liberating people from the mundanity of everyday life. His goal was to immerse the senses in a world where the mind can transcend the boundaries of the visible reality.
For instance, in the development of IGGYWOO's upcoming fragrance, Pistachio Voodoo Child, set to launch in April 2025, Saint - Ford's creative prowess is on full display. He describes it as “Iggywoo's take on a gourmand fragrance, with the perfect balance of sweetness and depth.” This fragrance is designed to envelop the senses in the warm, nutty aroma of roasted pistachios and praline, complemented by the velvety softness of ceremonial jasmine and the unique “Voodoo Dancer” lily. As the scent evolves, rich vanilla cream and sandalwood base notes leave a lingering, irresistible impression on the skin. Through such creations, Richard Saint - Ford continues to push the boundaries of perfumery, inviting fragrance enthusiasts to embark on extraordinary olfactory journeys.
