Chihiro Murai
Founder / Perfumer / Creator

Since childhood, Chihiro has been drawn to scented objects such as sachets and eau de cologne.
At the age of 15, she encountered perfume for the first time and was deeply captivated by its aesthetic and expressive qualities.

She has received the professional education to acquire the skill of perfume-making.
After working as a perfumer at a fragrance company for several years, she became independent in 2014.

In January 2017, she founded R fragrance Co., Ltd., and launched her first fragrance brand, “R fragrance,” in March of the same year.

Chihiro has long been fascinated by philosophy and psychology, focusing on the exploration of the invisible and the expression of subtle human emotions.
This intellectual pursuit continues to influence her creative approach to perfumery.
