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°6 Toga: ‘Whisky Caramélisé’:
“Whiskey Caramélisé was inspired by the designer’s memory of a square-ish ambery bottle of whisky. The sleek thickness of the crystal versus the warm transparent caramelized effect of the whisky was the creative idea behind this unique transparent gourmand fragrance. Sweet, yet dynamic, the fragrance begins with green natural vegetal top notes that announce a floral heart, enriched with patchouli. The drydown is more gourmand, with some floral, fruity, woody and musky facets.” – Alexandra Kosinski, perfumer Fragrance Notes: Mandarin, Nutmeg, Black current, Apple, Dewfruit, Hawthorn, Sandalwood, Musk, Patchouli Six Scents Series Two 6 Toga: Whiskey Caramelise was launched in 2009.
Naidadrurnfug – :
The name says it all; Whiskey Caramelise. Immediately, I pick up a smooth whisky note with sweet sugar and fresh apple. As it stays on, the apple becomes more like fruit salad, and whisky note becomes a bit powdery. Sandalwood and musk show up at the last minute. The sugar level here is at a decent level, but not enough to be like many gourmand scents. Well, I don’t get anything else after that…Umm…maybe a bit patchouli too? not so sure.
The main two characters here are whiskey and sugar obviously, which should attract a lot of perfumees out there. It’s quite different and I actually like it. It’s like I combine Baldessarini Ambré and a bit of Aqoulina Blue Sugar together and create this flanker in a beautiful package. Check out everyone!
