For his Freedom collection, Mark Buxton, a perfumer combining English chic and rock energy, is inspired by music. The four new fragrances take up Queen's famous song "I Want To Break Free". His bottles with their baroque and punk spirit reflect the thrilling emotion present in each of his creations. For Mark, a fragrance should be like a good jazz song, vibrant and harmonious. Three fetish ingredients, vetiver, ambergris and davana, are used in each of the fragrances, for a meticulously balanced result.
Free is a creation by David Chieze, Mark Buxton's right-hand man. He imagined a woody oriental fragrance, taking an interest in the vast and fascinating world of incense. The fragrance opens with delicate fruity notes of pineapple and mandarin orange and the spicy notes of nutmeg and black pepper. The base of amber, patchouli, sandalwood and cardamom brings the fragrance a powerful character that sticks to your skin. The perfect balance of the fragrance plunges you into an impression of total lightness and freedom.
Born in England, Mark studied in Hamburg before falling in love with Paris, where he has lived for more than 20 years. He is the author of fragrances for major luxury brands such as Givenchy, Versace, Van Cleef & Arpels, Paco Rabanne, Burberry, Cartier, Chopard, Ferré. The audacity of his olfactory creativity was fully expressed with the first Comme des Garçons perfume.
