Carlotha Ray
Contemporary French niche artistry.
Carlotha Ray is a French niche fragrance house founded in 2019 by Mariela Schwarz Montiel, a Latin-American entrepreneur working in Paris, who named the brand after her daughter. The house centers its identity on a collaboration with master perfumer Jean-Michel Duriez, known for his work with Frédéric Malle and other prestigious houses, who brings genuine compositional depth to a still-small catalog. Releases are inspired by intimate personal narratives — childhood memories, familial bonds, emotional landscapes — translated into layered, long-lasting fragrances that reward close attention. Carlotha Ray occupies the serious end of French indie perfumery, priced accordingly and distributed through select niche retailers.
