Description

Each year, the Six Scents Fragrance initiative brings the experience of creativity with a conscience to the world through a collection of six individual scents. Created by a distinct group of designers and perfumers, these limited edition fragrances are designed to represent a global range of contemporary views on creativity and culture. Through the designers’ concepts and the perfumers’ knowledge of fine fragrance, two artistic disciplines interweave to explore new perfume compositions.

Six Scents: Series Two will feature fragrances by: Phillip Lim, Henry Holland, Damir Doma, Henrik Vibskov, Richard Nicoll, and Toga. Individually numbered with custom packaging, each fragrance will be offered in a limited quantity of 2,000 bottles and a percentage of the net proceeds will go toward Pro-Natura in support of their environmental sustainability programs.

“The opportunity for our perfumers to partner with this extraordinary group of designers on such personal projects was highly emotional and creatively rewarding. We are all very proud to have had the experience and to further promote the beauty and luxury of nature.” – Kate Greene, Givaudan, Vice President of Marketing

SERIES TWO: PERFUMES

To know nature is to begin to know art, and to know art is to understand that it cannot exist independent of nature. Six Scents: Series Two explores the relationship between artist and nature through a collection of six fragrances, stories, films, art pieces, and photographic contributions. Each experience intends to instigate the desire to preserve our environment so that others can continue to be inspired by the beauty, power and intrigue of nature. “Exploring the idea of nature as muse, we created Series Two as a multimedia and multi-sensory collection to spread environmental awareness and preservation through experiences of nature as a symbol and source of all creativity.” – Aramique Krauthamer, Six Scents Parfums Story Director

Each designer was invited to imagine a place, action, and person that would be the basis of their fragrance; from each response, a story evolved. The perfumers, directors, photographers, artists, designers and writers that have collaborated on Six Scents: Series Two were asked to interpret these stories as they understood them. The final result is a multi-media and multi-sensory collective creation where themes of beauty and nature are evoked and revealed through a rage of ingredients.

N°4 Henry Holland: ‘Smell’:

“I was very inspired by Henry’s very specific visualization of the fragrance as an oversized, purple sofa where people would gather. This was such a vivid and extremely personal feeling that he conveyed to me, that I felt com- pelled to capture it. I started with the idea of the color purple, and what that smells like and added other elements that were touchstones for Henry. These included the idea of comfort and warmth and an overall relaxing quality that Henry expressed was important to him. Henry also shared his favorite natural ingredients including the smell of pine trees and beach memories of suntan lotion. Purple Flower Petals of Lilac & Jasmine form the center point for the fragrance with the soft, fluffy texture of Musk. It is an embracing hug of a fragrance that wraps you in its com- fort.” – Stephen Nilsen, perfumer Fragrance Notes: Lilac, Mimosa, Pine Forest Accord, Green Grass, Sheer Jasmine, Musk Six Scents Series Two 4 House of Holland: Smell was launched in 2009.
