What does the color purple smell like? Silky, sweet secrets. Violet colored rice powder on an elegant face. Enamel violets, cigarettes, Victorian silk and velvet, Pygmalion, Nureye v, shades of mauve. A collision of natural, rough, artificial, delicate. The narrative snapshots of photographer Hiromix. From Regime des FleursA delicate mauve-tinted secret behind teeth. The whisper of violets and heliotrope—a flushed purple flower casts a shadow over the sweetness of saffron. The comforting powdery silkiness of suede and tolu balsam linger longer. From Alia RazaHimitsu, meaning “secret” is a love letter to Kyoto, penned by Christopher and addressed to me. We’d shared a fondness for Japan and I was moved by the scenes of Kyoto he’d paint in my mind while encouraging me to visit. Together we dreamt up a character: a quiet, contemplative student. Genderless, richly layered, someone subtle in nature but sure to make their mark. And from there the fragrance was born.
