Designer Philippe Starck has signed a licensing agreement with Perfumes y Diseño to develop a perfume brand.
Work the intangible,
Explore the abstract,
Make visible the invisible,
Make the air vibrate,
Colour life,
Create magical unions,
Become immersed in poetry,
These are the challenges I aspire to through perfume.
— Philippe Starck

L’air du Temps not cutting it anymore?
I guess not! It seems an odd fit, but will be very curious to see what they come up with.
I love that bottle!
I love that bottle, but I’ve never found it IRL.
Who doesn’t love his lemon juicer that looks like a space ship? A lot of his stuff seems designed to make people smile while doing housework which is quite a good thing. I am curious as to what fragrance he will produce but I have a feeling people will care more about the bottle design than the contents.
Yes! But hope he will pay the same degree of attention to the juice, all the same.
For anyone who has never seen the lemon squeezer:

Yes – I would hope that he is so much of a control freak that he will be very involved and won’t compromise – so whatever it is, it will be something with a real individual character.
