In a unique collaboration, Robertet Fragrances has created an exclusive, customized scent for Chinese-born designer Vivienne Tam to wear at the Met Gala.
“I wanted Robertet to create a fragrance for me that celebrated the glamor of the Met Gala, and captured the essence of who I am as a designer,” said Tam in a press statement.
Robertet Perfumer Jerome Epinette worked closely with Tam to create Red Empress—a scent that distills her Chinese heritage and passion with natural perfume ingredients.
“It was a dream,” said Epinette, “to translate into this special fragrance the weaving and embedding structure of her new collection as an olfactive mosaic. Transparency, delicacy and vibrant flowers are laced on an impeccable structure, echoing the complex yet serene Phoenix’s motifs decorating Beijing’s Imperial Palace.”
Red Empress is billed as an effervescent floral that feels like a ray of sunshine dancing on the skin. Vibrant, juicy and water, it is the embodiment of contemporary sophistication. A deceptively simple modern bouquet composition with key notes of subtle calabrian bergamot, regal sichuan pepper, delicate pink lotus, translucent golden water lilly, rose petals and vibrant sandalwood.
