Six Creative Fragrances by Designers x Perfumers
Fragrance 1
Alexandre Herchovitch & Joachim Correll
'Urbn Tropical'
A fragrance inspired by free creativity, much like Alexandre Herchovitch's approach to designing clothing. It can be worn anytime, anywhere, by anyone, for self-expression, evoking freedom and sensuality, much like Herchovitch's collections. This scent is striking and transcends traditional perfumery.
Fragrance Notes: Cedarwood, Amberwood, Lemon, Cassis, Lime, Green Apple, Apricot, Jasmine, Marigold, Freesia, Cinnamon, Musk
Fragrance 2
Bernhard Willhelm & Lucas Sieuzac
'Wicken 3000'
Bernhard Willhelm's concept is a fragrance that crosses over light, fresh, and clean elements. The initial idea was to create a scent like water and air, with a futuristic touch characteristic of Bernhard. This pure and essential perfume allows one to 'return to nature'.
Fragrance Notes: Sea Breeze Accord, Bergamot, Water Jasmine, Sea Musk
Fragrance 3
Cosmic Wonder Light Source & Philippe Paparella-Paris
'The Spirit of Wood'
Cosmic Wonder Light Source draws inspiration from fashion collections deeply connected to nature. Based on the memory of eucalyptus forests the designer once walked, the fragrance blends fig leaf and cedar notes for a refreshing green top. It also notably uses many woody essential oils like vetiver and hinoki to create an unpretentious, natural scent.
Fragrance Notes: Green Grass, Fig, Cypress, Coriander, Elemi, Cedarwood, Vetiver, Hinoki, White Amber
Fragrance 4
Gareth Pugh & Emilie Coppermann
'Diagonal'
Contrast, Ambiguity, Duality. These are the words designer Gareth Pugh uses to describe his collections, and he speaks of the constant struggle between grace and darkness in his creations. Masculine and feminine, rough and smooth, dark and light, fresh and sensual – this fragrance, which embodies these contrasts, is a true expression of Gareth's vision.
Fragrance Notes: Dill, Black Pepper, Nutmeg, Palisander, Black Tea, Amyris, White Amber, Musk
Fragrance 5
Jeremy Scott & Philippe Roques
'Illicit Sex'
'Illicit Sex is an essay on love,' says designer Jeremy Scott. This fragrance expresses the very encounter of fragility and strength.
Fragrance Notes: Bergamot, Aldehydic, Pepper, Rose, Nutmeg, Benzoin, Frankincense, Cedarwood, Musk
Fragrance 6
Preen by Thornton Bregazzi & Mark Buxton
'Teen Spirit'
This fragrance evokes an English summer garden after rain. It is light, natural, and fresh, with a floral character, but never overly sweet, formulated for adult wear. Its sparkling top notes include Bergamot, Seashore Accord, Magnolia, and Turkish Rose. The depth comes from the spicy notes of Hazelnut Leaf and Rhubarb combined with Red Pepper, while Violet Wood adds a touch of joy.
Fragrance Notes: Hazelnut Leaf, Rhubarb, Bergamot, Berry, Seashore Accord, Red Pepper, Rose, Magnolia, Violet Wood, Sandalwood, Musk
