The upcoming Penhaligon's fragrance, to be launched next month, is called Iris Prima and is touted to be "a work of olfactory choreography", with Iris Absolute in the role of the prima ballerina. In a unique partnership with English National Ballet, Penhaligon’s has set about capturing the very essence of the ballet, turning to master perfumer Alberto Morillas as choreographer. Iris Prima will launch on the 9th of September 2013.
Enjoy the first of two films dedicated to the launch.

ReplyDeletePairing ballerinas with delicate flowers- how original. Not that bottled sweat, blood and anorexia would smell any better to me, but at least it would be more honest. Sorry, but something triggered my cynicism.
