IN PURSUIT OF ‘THE COVETED DUCHESS ROSE’
A sweet-scented Rose is ready for the picking. Not so innocent after all, perhaps? THE COVETED DUCHESS ROSE eau de parfum conceals something more sensual – a hint of musky wood. Alas, the Duke is off gallivanting while his sweet young bride aches with desire. Won’t someone (anyone) release her from the written ingredients of Penhaligon’s fantasy into the wild of your own reality?
FOR THE AFICIONADO
The ELEGANT niche lover is that someones who knows it’s not about being noticed, but it’s about being remembered. In its true sense, elegance is the only beauty that never fades. And just as such, the elegant niche compositions suit this era’s elegant mood and put up front perfumes that gracefully stand the test of time.
Christophe Raynaud
INSPIRATION IS CONSTANTLY COLLECTED
Christophe Raynaud puts it simply: “I’m a craftsman with the sensitivity of an artist.” And you can feel that in every fragrance he signs. For him, perfumery is a full-blown addiction and a complete universe he dives into with joy and the precision of a sculptor. “At first, I’m the architect. Then I become the craftsman,” he says. His dream of becoming a perfumer began early, in his teenage years, when he imagined launching a brand with his best friend: one would design clothes, the other would create perfumes. He studied chemistry to get into ISIPCA, where he finally felt in his element. Discovering raw materials and the language of scent confirmed he was exactly where he was meant to be.
