Enchanted Forest Eau de Parfum
The Most Anticipated Fragrance of 2013
The Vagabond Prince is an adventurer, a passionate
explorer, a romantic dreamer. He stepped out of fairytales, you can find him in
the folklore of every nation: the bravest character in a story, often foolhardy
in the eyes of everyman, but still quick-witted enough to win. He travels, he
fails, but he finds the strength for another fight, and he never relinquishes
to anybody the mission of finding his happiness... He is a fabled symbol of
human will for development. He is self-made.
Enchanted
Forest is inspired by the endless sea of Russian forests and
fairytales, as well as the most sensual ancient Slavic celebration named
Kupala, rooted in the times of darkness, when all on the Earth knew its soul
and its name (often too powerful to be uttered in vain or at all). French perfumer
Bertrand Duchaufour,
the famous creator of fragrances for L'Artisan Parfumeur, Comme des Garçons and
Penhaligon's, built Enchanted Forest around black currant, the smell and taste
of which are so beloved in Russia and many other countries where it grows.
The box is lavishly
decorated in golden hohloma tendrils, representing the enchanted forest. It
embraces the deep blue sky with its curling branches. This sparkle from a
shooting star and silhouettes of tiny night butterflies resting on its branches
play little melodies on each side and easily fly into your imagination. Hohloma
is so entertaining and doubtlessly magical that one twists and turns the box,
caressing with fingers the different surfaces.
The other story
behind Enchanted Forest Eau de Parfum comes with inspiration and creation by
the highly respected and highly viewed online perfume magazine,
Fragrantica. Fragrantica owners and
couple Elena Knezhevich
and Zoran Knezevic
chose their favorite perfumer, Bertrand Duchaufour to create the fragrance using
natural ingredients. This is a loving gift from Zoran to Elena which not only
symbolizes a wonderful inspirational fragrance but also the love of two people.
The incredible artwork for the bottle and the box decoration was painted by Elena.
