Chris Collins

Founded by Chris Collins, the house grew from a lifelong relationship with fragrance that began with his father, whose love of classic colognes taught Chris early on how closely scent could be tied to presence and confidence. Collins later spent more than two decades in fashion, including years as a model and ambassador for Ralph Lauren, traveling internationally and developing his own perspective on style and luxury. In 2018, he turned that passion into his namesake fragrance house. 

Harlem, where Collins built his life in New York, became one of the house's defining inspirations. His Renaissance Collection celebrates the creative energy of the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, with fragrances such as Harlem Nights, Renaissance, and Danse Sauvage evoking its music, nightlife, fashion, and artistic expression. Other collections expand his world into romance, travel, desire, and personal memories, allowing each fragrance to tell a different chapter of his story. 

Chris serves as the house's founder and creative director, working with accomplished perfumers to translate his concepts into scent. Over the years, the brand has collaborated with perfumers including Nathalie Feisthauer, Sidonie Lancesseur, Hamid Merati-Kashani, Alexis Grugeon, and Laaure Santantoni. At its heart, World of Chris Collins treats fragrance as a portal into another time, place, or emotion, blending Black cultural storytelling, modern luxury, and Collins' own experiences into a distinctly personal approach to niche perfumery.
