I wanted to only create a great perfume, not any perfume that would sell, but a great artistic one that the fans would not feel cheated by.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm sure that everyone who goes into fashion always dreams of having a perfume, since it completes the brand and exposes it in a different way.
But, having a perfume and license, in general, is a financial necessity. A designer must, to reap back the money spent on prototypes and all that sort of thing.
For my first fragrance, I wanted to capture the essence of a woman's strength and beauty.
I love Serge Lutens orange blossom perfume; my mom got it for me. It's my favorite. It just smells clean.
I don't wear perfume, and I don't like the air to be too saturated with scents.
I have a lucky perfume. I love beautiful smells, but I save one of my favorite perfumes to wear only when I feel like I need some extra luck.
I've always loved to combine different scents to come up with my own unique thing.
My first and strongest memories about perfume come from childhood, from my mother, and they are a complex blend of her private and public selves.
The Flower of My Secret is definitely more based in true emotions. I also wanted to make something more realistic, but not naturalistic or simple.
Perfume is pretty good because nobody has to hold the product by their face or use it.
