BRIONI UNVEILS LES EXTRAITS DE PARFUM COLLECTION : A Symphony of Purity and Refined Elegance
Launch: October 1, 2023
London, July - Brioni introduces Les Extraits de Parfum, a new collection of four exceptional fragrances that tell a story of quiet sophistication and refined elegance. Reflecting Brioni’s iconic design, the collection encapsulates olfactory allure in a flacon that honours ancient techniques in harmony with modern aesthetics.
The new collection invites an appreciation of an artistic vision that allows pure forms and precious extracts to speak for themselves. Rooted in a philosophy of minimalism and excellence, each Extrait is a singular olfactory expression built around one precious raw material, blended with masterful restraint.
“Each fragrance in Les Extraits de Parfum celebrates quality and the beauty of simplicity, focusing on one pure and rare ingredient. When carefully blended with supporting notes, the entire sensory experience is elevated similar to what Brioni does with the finest materials in our collections. It's about passion, craftsmanship, and refinement found in luxury’s true essence.”
Norbert Stumpfl, Design Director, Brioni
Crafted by world’s finest perfumers, the collection includes:
Iris Exquis, by Karine Vinchon-Spehner and Michel Almairac, is a symphony of iris paired with lavender, suede and tea.
“We wanted to create a textured iris. You can smell vegetal, rhizome and earthy facets. We enhanced the raw side of the note with a fresh and smoky black tea. The woods and leather extend the power of this note.”
KARINE VINCHON-SPEHNER & MICHEL ALMAIRAC, PERFUMERS, ROBERTET
Encens Minéral, by Nisrine Bouazzaoui-Grillé, is a verdant, incense-driven scent with lily of the valley and vetiver.
“In crafting this fragrance, I wanted to explore the captivating duality of incense. I began with the cool, vertical notes of incense oil and its citrus and spicy facets. This vibrant opening is enhanced by the spicy notes of black pepper and pink berries, creating an invigorating blend that awakens the senses.
At the heart of my creation is Mystikal, a unique molecule from Givaudan's palette. This responsible and 100% biodegradable ingredient weaves through the fragrance, imparting its own incense-like notes and infusing the composition with vibrant energy.”
NISRINE BOUAZZAOUI-GRILLÉ, PERFUMER, GIVAUDAN
Labdanum Brut, by Mylène Arlan, radiates with cistus, Bulgarian rose and white musk.
“I aimed to craft a creamy, velvety musk-rich, textured, powerful and comfortable.
The presence of cistus lends a leather-like patina, infusing the musk with a warm, amber quality that carries an almost animalic allure. I then layer in a touch of vanillin, which envelops it in a luminous, powdery, balsamic veil, creating a comforting embrace.
At the heart of the fragrance, I have chosen Bulgarian rose for its richly intense, almost liqueur-like character. To balance this opulence, I introduce a hint of aromatic rosemary at the opening, a prelude to the resinous warmth of cistus that unfolds later. The result is a fragrance that feels both sensual and sophisticated, blending high texture with contrasts and correspondences throughout the composition.”
MYLÈNE ARLAN, PERFUMER, GIVAUDAN
Papyrus Éternel, composed by Alexis Dadier, evokes masculine elegance with papyrus, black tea, cardamom and vetiver.
“The smoked black tea note embodies the luxurious and timeless Brioni tuxedo which served as an inspiration. Ceylon black tea extract and Papyrus essence create a unique accord reminiscent of precious Lapsang Souchong tea, complemented by leather, vetiver, and amber gris for a refined masculine aroma.”
ALEXIS DADIER, PERFUMER, ROBERTET
Symphony of pure essence and elegance
Each bottle is a sculptural piece of art: monolithic, octagonal, and faceted like crystal. Crafted from a single piece of glass with a Martellato hammered texture, the flacon captures and reflects light like ripples across still water.
Reflecting the values deeply held by Brioni, Les Extraits de Parfum is a continuation of responsible luxury with the wellbeing of people and the planet front of mind. All fragrances in the collection are vegan and cruelty-free and produced using sustainable ingredients. Both packaging and flacon are recyclable.
Les Extraits de Parfum is available in 80 ml and will launch 1st of October in Brioni stores and selected retailers.
RRP: EUR 290 / USD 335 / GBP 260 / CHF 335
