FERRAGAMO

The name Salvatore Ferragamo conjures up the image of luxurious shoes, clothing, handbags and well-known elegant perfumes. The Ferragamo company is family owned, and the care and perfectionism found in its products extends to its fragrances. Born in Italy, Ferragamo learned shoemaking at an early age and, in 1914, moved to the United States where he worked in a boot factory and later attended the University of Southern California to study anatomy; he wanted to find out why shoes hurt the feet. Returning to Florence, Italy, he designed and sold shoes to the rich and famous. In the 1950s, he had many stores in both Italy and the United States and a large workforce. The Ferragamo company introduced its line of perfumes in 1998 with Salvatore Ferragamo for Women, a sophisticated spicy, green scent. The Ferragamo and Incanto lines of perfumes have been manufactured by Ferragamo Parfums since 2001. As of 2014, there are 41 perfumes produced by the company, including the original Salvatore Ferragamo and F by Ferragamo, a floral perfume with a heady combination of jasmine, orange blossom and rose. The Incanto line produces classics like Incanto for Women, a white floral and fruity scent depicting Ferragamo's love for beauty. The Tuscan Soul Quintessential Collection is a unisex line of perfumes representing the beauty of Tuscany. Bianco di Carrara has an aromatic, woody scent reminding one of the stone of Tuscany, while Vendemmia brings to mind the grape harvest in Tuscany with its floral, woody scent.

MAISON MARGIELA

Maison Martin Margiela embodies the “anti-brand” par excellence. The Belgian designer creates fashion with a revolutionary statement. The color white plays a central role for the designer. The color is reflected both in his studio and in the interior design of his stores, from white shopping bags and packaging materials to the white label of the brand. The designer focuses on his creations, doesn’t give any personal interviews, doesn’t let himself be photographed and does not appear on the catwalk after his shows. His fashion creations are always in the foreground and the designer sends his models onto the runway masked, thus censoring their faces. Fragrant Images The scents immediately conjure in the mind's eye images and impressions... Positive emotions that are associated not only with our own personal history but also with the collective unconscious. Composed by major perfumers such as Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud and Marie Salamagne, the Replica Creations capture fragrant moments that revive our hidden memories. "This challenge was as stimulating as it was interesting for the brand. From the beginning, we thought of certain memories that would evoke these scents. But we had no idea what difficulties, and countless attempts, were waiting for us until we would finally achieve the results desired." - Maison Martin Margiela "Each creation is based on the desire of adding unique and modern elements to commonly known fragrances in order to lend a new and innovative side to each one. Personally, I not particularly like the concept of nostalgia - I prefer rather the concept of rediscovering scents that actually already a part of us all." - Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud.

MONTALE

The house of French perfumer Pierre Montale was officially founded in Paris in 2003, although the designer created signature scents for Saudi Arabian kings, queens and aristocrats prior to striking out on his own. Known for his signature aluminum bottles that protect his fragrances from adverse, light-altering occurrences, Montale is renowned for introducing the Western World to his own signature brand of exotic, alluring Middle Eastern and Oriental scent notes. Each of Montale's men's, women's and unisex offerings are created from high-quality, natural materials such as sandalwood, cedar, rose and patchouli. His production house manufactures the scents in large batches to intensify the bouquets of the final products, as well as to ensure each creation's optimal long-wearing capabilities. One of Montale's most notable contributions to the global fragrance market is his use of aoud, also known as agarwood, in many of his collections. Celebrated as an aphrodisiac in the East, aoud is a highly coveted ingredient that is usually reserved for royalty. Aoud occurs when a mold, Phialophora parasitica, infects the Aquillaria tree with a darkly colored, aromatic resin. Sold for one and one-half times the price of gold, aoud also enjoys the nicknames "the wood of gods" and "liquid gold." Some notable fragrances in Montale's Aoud Parfums Montale include the unisex creations, Golden Aoud, which was released in 2008 and Aoud Greedy, which was released in 2013.
