“From the A Beautiful Mind series, a long-lasting perfume and the floral notes will continue to lure with their exotic whispers for hours and hours. The difference you will notice in the dry down is a softer kind of sultriness (courtesy of the heavy dose of cashmeran) and a woody backdrop that is at once dry (cedar) and sweet (sandalwood).”With a beautiful packed bottle of fragrance and with a hologram postcard attached to it, this perfume that was created in Berlin, in mind that our brain remember best only the scents, this mixture of oriental aromats is the product of high technology and bio productions. The Beautiful Mind Series 1. is all about Intelligence and Fantasy!

Inez and Vinoodh are two of the most prolific photographers working today, and a dynamic duo who also created a son together. I met them at their son’s birthday party last year, and boom – my being tall got them talking. You never know where life may take you. The fragrance was inspired by one of Inez and Vinoodh’s photographs – ‘Kirsten 1996′, which Ben Gorham of Byredo took as inspiration for the woody, oriental scent. The perfume came in a cedar box and a pink paper, inscribed with the inscribed with the professional musings of yours truly.” Byredo, a famous fragrance label that is produced in France, is launching a collaboration perfume with photographer Inez & Vinoodh. The fragrance is called 1996 and is created and inspired from all the travels they been too. Collected into one scent, which is a mixture of between fashion and warm wood. But, what is interesting, the perfume was first to be created just like a gift to the photographer duo, but after people exploded in the web, Byredo decided to launch the fragrance within the Byredo Parfums collection!
