Ricardo Ramos inherited the sense of smell from his paternal grandfather, also named Ricardo Ramos, horseman and pioneer in the Colombian coffee export business from the late 1940s to the mid 1980s, and a great promoter of the implantation of international strains of coffee in Colombian territory,  he taught his grandson from the early age of 7 the importance of the sense of smelling  through coffee.
His contact with the fragrance industry began more than twenty years ago with the raw materials from Quest Int laboratories, then he had access to the palette of Givaudan in Paris, and continued in the MG International laboratories in Istanbul. This long path, through the laboratories has been made by the hand of his great life time friend, mentor in perfumery, and creative partner, also of Colombian origin, Senior perfumer Jorge Lee.

He complements this knowledge with extensive trips around the world to learn about natural raw materials, its  extraction, production and qualities  , essential ingredients in all the formulations for  his line's creations.
