The legendary 20th century fashion editor has been celebrated in a new fragrance collection created by her grandson Alexander Vreeland
Legendary Diana Vreeland has now got a whole new perfume range dedicated to her and the credit goes to her nephew Alexander Vreeland who made his aunt’s obsession for perfume into a most-desired wish-come-true.
There are five different fragrances in the range – each named after a quote from Vreeland, who lived from 1903 until 1989. The collection includes fragrances available in colourful flacons, while the compositions are signed by prominent perfumers of the IFF company. The fragrances of the collection by Diana Vreeland are named Extravagance Russe, Perfectly Marvelous, Absolutely Vital, Simply Divine and Outrageously Vibrant.
Extravagance Russe
Developed by perfumer Clément Gavarry, Extravagance Russe was created as a homage to Mrs. Vreeland’s love of Orientalism. Capturing the essence of Amber’s sacred and mystical note in perfumery, the fragrance goes deep into the collective olfactive memory. It maintains the original codes of Amber within a contemporary structure. The scent harmoniously wraps luxurious Resins and Balsams with precious Vanilla bourbon and Musk for an enhanced impression of skin-like and captivating sensuality.
Absolutely Vital
Developed by perfumer Yves Cassar, Absolutely Vital, created by Yves Cassar, uses the highest quality natural ingredients from LMR, IFF’s facility based in Grasse, France, to create this ode to Mrs. Vreeland’s love for India and passion for Sandalwood. A mysterious and enveloping woody composition of Indian Sandalwood, this precious and refined wood is wrapped in a silken floral bouquet of Turkish Rose and Jasmine absolute from Egypt, softened with enveloping balms of Myrrh Resin and Opoponax Resin. Finished with nuances of Vanilla, the skin is caressed in a warm veil of opulent sensuality.
Perfectly Marvelous
Developed by perfumer Céline Barel, Perfectly Marvelous was inspired by Mrs. Vreeland’s quote, “If it isn’t a passion, it isn’t burning, it isn’t on fire, you haven’t lived!” The end result is an unforgettable fragrance, built around a lacquered red Sandalwood Pimento accord, draped in a daring Jasmine bouquet. Capturing the audacious spirit of Diana Vreeland and inspired by her favorite color, this fragrance is a passionate fragrance, built around a Jasmine absolute from India, draped in a glowing lava accord of lacquered red Sandalwood and Pimento. Heady, elegant and voluptuous, Jasmine Sambac lends a glossy quality to the composition while evoking utmost eroticism. Cashmeran, a musk that evokes fire, combines with a mix of spices and resins for a crackling effect.
Outrageously Vibrant
Outrageously Vibrant by Carlos Benaim is the culmination of over two years in creating a red and slightly gourmand Eau de Parfum. A fearless, nonconformist fragrance combining a classical Chypre structure with an unexpected twist of Creme de Cassis. The richness of Patchouli and sophistication of the Rose bouquet are contrasted with the electric, saturated and exuberant facets of Cassis to create a bold, daring and contemporary trail.
Simply Divine
Simply Divine by Clement Gavarry is an ode to the unique beauty and complexity of the iconic Tuberose flower. The fragrance authentically magnifies the opulent lactonic nectar of Tuberose with its natural, green crushed leaves, freshness, and a wink of Nutmeg. To reveal the exceptional beauty and luminous expression of the Tuberose, the majestic heart develops captivating notes of lush Orange flower absolute from Tunisia and Jasmine absolute from Egypt. The background enhances the mysterious and seductive signature. The depth of Indian Sandalwood is softened with elegant accents of Orris, Italy, enveloping Cashmere woods, Balsamic nuances of Tonka Beans and sensual musk to caress the skin in a warm veil of luxurious sensuality.
