Clive Christian unveils latest complex and compelling fragrance
Promotion: UK-based perfume house Clive Christian Perfume has collaborated with Spanish artist Domingo Zapata to design a bottle for its latest fragrance, which intends to push contemporary perfume boundaries.
Named Strange Heavens Out Of The Blue, Clive Christian Perfume's latest bold fragrance features a panda drawn by Zapata in his signature style.
The mini, all-white artwork punctuates the distinctive form of the brand's bottle, which for this collection was coloured cobalt blue – a tone that evokes poison bottles of the Victorian era.
Created as the third scent in the Addictive Arts collection, Strange Heavens Out Of The Blue was designed as a punchy fragrance and is a bid to redefine contemporary perfumes.
Informed by artistic and literary worlds, the brand describes the scent as "complex and compelling".
It has a 25 per cent perfume concentration with notes of coffee and aniseed, along with orange flower and vanilla caramel.
"Perfume is love, it is part of who you are – who you are to others," said Zapata. "When I smell Out of the Blue, it brings me to fresh, splash, dance, summer, travelling, exotic."
"It reminds me of all these sensations that I can not and will not ever want to get away from."
Out of the Blue is the third fragrance in the Addictive Arts collection; it follows a pair of perfumes named Jump Up and Kiss Me.
Zapata's signature panda – a symbol of balance, playfulness and joy – aligns with Clive Christian Perfume's aims for the scent collection to "explore our most indulgent emotions".
"For me, Strange heavens is like you are in a dream – in panda heaven," he said. "In Panda heaven, strange things can happen. It really means that everything is possible."
"In art, as long as you put passion, love, dreams, even the things that don't match, can be art," he continued.
