2019 WINTER EscENTIALS: Force Majeure


Nature’s forces mirror our deeply personal thoughts and emotions. If you’re in love, you could be singing in the rain; when your lover is gone, you might feel a flood of emotions. And you may feel a maelstrom when chaos reigns within.

The more existential our feelings, more forceful are the metaphors we engage to describe them. During these winter months, we ask you to embrace the elements to unleash olfactive storms and raging rivers of scent.

In an elaborate process combining analog and digital techniques Photographer Marc Beaussart and his team captured five powerful perfumes in dramatic motion, Ride the wind, dance in the rain, feel the earth move under your feet and let life rock you like a hurricane!
