Inspired by Five Countries Along the Spice Routes
MOLTON BROWN's first fragrance collection, 'Navigation Through Scent.' This grand collection was developed with Jennifer Jambon as the new Principal Perfumer.
With the concept of 'a journey tracing the spice routes that gave birth to fragrance,' the collection features artistic and sophisticated scents inspired by five countries—Egypt, China, Indonesia, England, and Canada—which played crucial roles in the global distribution of spices.
The product names include latitude and longitude, further stimulating the wearer's imagination with the stories and worlds captured within each fragrance.
