Even with the rapid pace of micro-trends over the past few years, one thing remains constant: great craftsmanship and personal style. These two continue to prove that real depth—whether in how something is made or how it’s worn—always stands the test of time. It’s that kind of timeless style that feels effortlessly elegant and quietly refined.
This idea extends to fragrance, too. More than just a finishing touch, scent has the power to leave a lasting impression—not just on the wearer, but on those around them. When chosen with intention, a fragrance becomes the fine thread that ties everything together, enhancing both presence and personality.
In this edition of The Editor’s Room featuring Stefano Ricci, guests—many of whom brought along their husbands and partners in celebration of Father’s Day—explored the connection between scent and style. The experience offered a thoughtful look at how to match fragrance with wardrobe, adding a deeper layer of meaning to personal expression.
The relationship between scent and style isn’t far apart. Just like fashion, fragrance is crafted with care and intention—designed to reflect the inspiration behind it. Whether it’s an emotion, a memory, or a place, each ingredient is chosen to help tell a story.
For Stefano Ricci, each fragrance captures the brand’s distinctive codes: timeless elegance, modern sophistication, and an unwavering commitment to luxury. From the warm spices of Classic to the fresh vibrancy of Blue Classic, the selection is not only made to be worn, but to be truly experienced.
Speaking of experience, guests were treated to an exclusive walkthrough of the Stefano Ricci boutique located in Solaire, offering a closer look at how the brand’s style and scent come together in perfect harmony. During the tour, renowned Filipino stylist Melville Sy shared his insights on the featured pieces—highlighting how each one reflects a distinct persona within the Stefano Ricci identity.
On the fragrance front, Filipino perfumer Oscar Mejia—whose impressive background includes formal training in Paris and Grasse, along with collaborations with prestigious institutions and luxury hotels—shared his expertise on how each ingredient plays a role in shaping the brand’s distinctive olfactory identity.
Exploring Stefano Ricci’s Fragrance and Style
The walkthrough began with Stefano Ricci’s signature perfume line, featuring both Classic and Blue Classic—blends where warm spices, citrus, and floral notes unfold with elegance. Rich in complexity, these fragrances echo the structure and versatility of the brand’s clothing. Both Oscar Mejia and Melville Sy agreed: the freshness of the scents pairs seamlessly with silhouettes that reflect a refined, yet effortlessly relaxed character.
Meanwhile, the Prestige Line—featuring Eight and Eight Black—balances aromatic spices with woody undertones. On the style front, Sy pointed out the understated tailoring details that reveal quiet sophistication and meticulous craftsmanship. Mejia added that this mirrors the use of cardamom and blackcurrant in the scents—ingredients that evoke a bolder, more modern edge.
The walkthrough then moved into the Sport Line, where a more casual, relaxed aesthetic took center stage. While the silhouettes are designed for everyday wear, each piece maintains a polished, refined finish. Reflecting this laid-back yet elevated style, fragrances like Royal Eagle Black, Royal Eagle Silver, and Royal Eagle Sport feature energetic notes such as rum and green tea, blended with fresh citrus accords. According to Mejia, these scents are crafted to suit active lifestyles—without ever compromising the brand’s signature elegance.
Finally, Ruthenium emerged as a standout with its blend of fruity and woody notes. Sy shared that a playful and colorful approach to fashion pairs perfectly with this scent, creating a look that’s both sophisticated and memorable.
It was truly an experience as both men and women gained a deeper understanding of how Stefano Ricci’s craftsmanship goes beyond tailoring—how its true intention lives between the seams and in every blend. Each fragrance transcends being just a scent; it becomes a statement of style and confidence. Whether dressing for a formal occasion or a casual day out, Stefano Ricci invites men to wear their fragrance as a signature element of their personal style.
