UGO CHARRON
When Ugo enthuses that colors bring joy to life, he could be describing equally his fragrance creations, his paintings, his music, his wardrobe, or his philosophy. Expressive, empathic and inclusive, Ugo’s cross-modal creativity channels his boundless optimism and vigor.
He is originally from Sancerre wine country, where the hills are redolent with the grapefruit and boxtree aromas of Sauvignon Blanc. Formally trained in Grasse, Berlin, and New York City, Ugo now calls Brooklyn home where he formed an electronic duo with Clement Mercet in 2019 called Cosmic Gardens.
As a trained chemist and classical pianist, he builds on this solid grounding in technical precision to generate exploratory, playful multimedia work. He joined the New York MANE creative team in 2020.
His inspiration & Universe
Ugo sees perfumery as an instinctive synesthestic process.
The primary colors and fearless gestures of his paintings and his electro/pop music can be sensed in Ugo’s fragrance creations, where vibrant and luminous ideas spring from his unfettered imagination.
He loves the abstract art of Kandinsky
He is one half of the musical inditronica duo Cosmic Gardens
Travel is a key inspiration and he likes to backpack along unexplored roads from Colombia to South East Asia, keeping it simple and meeting genuine people
to understand and share their reality and culture.
His roots are important. With his wine-making friends, he loves to discuss
their creative process, a true craft that requires listening to the senses...
before celebrating around a good bottle.
Nothing creates euphoria like gathering friends for a party…
and Ugo loves to have fun surrounded by his loved ones!
