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°5 Richard Nicoll: ‘Nicoll 17’:

“This fennel infused scent is a simple, minimalist fragrance from a perfumer who enjoys maximalism. It is a scien- tific pleasure and a dream project for a botanist. Every single aspect of Florentine fennel as a garden plant and as a slivered delicacy in a summer salad was taken into account: its crisp green character, its sweet anise and sam- bucca like aspects, the crunchy texture of the opalescent green stalks, the earthiness of the roots, the airiness within its feathery leaves and umbrella shaped flowers. Deceivingly simple, Nicoll 17 is natural, fresh and easygoing as it conceals its complexity behind a simple, wholesome theme. It’s filled with energy and palpitates with joy.” – Rodrigo Flores –Roux, perfumer Fragrance Notes: Florentine Fennel, Fennel Pollen, Exotic Black Basil, White Iris Petals, Caraway Seeds, Tarocco Sweet Orange, Angelica Roots, Southern Magnolia, early summer Ivy Buds Six Scents Series Two 5 Richard Nicoll: Nicoll 17 was launched in 2009.
