Marchesa to Launch Signature Fragrance “Marchesa Parfume d’Extase”

Following the trend of designer fragrances and cosmetics line, Marchesa will launch first signature fragrance 'Marchesa Parfume d’Extase': “Eveningwear evokes an emotion, and this scent does the same thing,” said Chapman, the label’s designer, who cofounded the line with business partner Craig in 2004. 

"We didn't want anything too sweet. Georgina and I don't like perfumes that can smell sort of sickly, so that was very important when we were going through the process."

The bottle is made from faceted glass to resemble a crystal bow: “We looked at our handbags and the signature crystals they have, and we really wanted to incorporate that element,” said Chapman.

The scent feaures notes of iris, freesia, violet leaves, night-blooming jasmine, iris root, ambroxan and musk. It will be available as an Eau de Parfum in 30 ml for $60 and 50ml for $85, as well as a $25 rollerball exclusively at Sephora US from September 2012. No release date for Europe or rest of the world as of now.
