For his new 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.
To break is the most concentrated ambergris fragrance in the world of perfume. This rare ingredient, a favorite of Mark's, evokes the scents of tobacco and musk, allowing the fragrance to stick to the skin. The gourmand opening of pineapple, apple and peach melts into a heart as floral as it is spicy. Cedar, paired with ambergris in the drydown, gives the fragrance a woody and musky spirit. The result is an intensely powerful fragrance, bringing the wearer a desire for liberation.
Nato in Inghilterra, Mark ha studiato ad Amburgo prima di innamorarsi di Parigi, dove ha vissuto per più di 20 anni. È autore di fragranze per importanti marchi di lusso come Givenchy, Versace, Van Cleef & Arpels, Paco Rabanne, Burberry, Cartier, Chopard, Ferré. L'audacia della sua creatività olfattiva era pienamente espressa con il primo profumo di Comme des Garçons.
