Laurice Rahmé is a prominent figure in contemporary perfumery, primarily known as the founder, owner, and creative director of Bond No. 9, a luxury perfume house based in New York City. Of Lebanese origin, her professional career has unfolded within the context of modern perfumery, beginning in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Rahmé is not a perfumer in the traditional sense, but rather a creative visionary with a keen sense of smell and a deep understanding of marketing and storytelling within perfumery. Her style focuses on creating perfumes that capture the essence of different neighborhoods and iconic locations in New York City, utilizing high-quality ingredients and luxurious presentations. Her most significant contribution is the conceptualization and development of Bond No. 9 as an innovative and successful brand.
While Rahmé does not directly formulate the fragrances, she works closely with talented perfumers to translate her ideas into olfactory creations. Bond No. 9 is, therefore, her most famous creation, and through it, she has influenced the way niche brands are presented and marketed in the global market. She has not worked directly for other renowned perfume houses in the traditional sense of an independent perfumer.
Rahmé's approach centers on the customer experience and the emotional connection with perfume. She has innovated by linking perfumery with urban geography and local culture, creating fragrances that are both a tribute to New York City and a reflection of current trends in the world of luxury and beauty.
