Thierry Mugler Pefume Box

The birth of a new work, an olfactory creation
The fruit of a surprising encounter between three arts (literature, cinema and perfumery)

Thierry Mugler interprets Perfume
Based on the film version of Patrick Süskind's famous novel

A BOOK

A worldwide best-seller, with over fifteen million copies sold, translated into forty-two languages… A fascinatingly extravagant story, tinged with intrigue and emotion… in a unique literary masterpiece.

A FILM

Twenty-one years later, Patrick Süskind sold the rights of his book to Constantin Film, a production company responsible for such successes as The Name of the Rose.
The film of Perfume will go on general release in France on 4 October 2006.

AN OLFACTORY INTERPRETATION

Thierry Mugler has conceived of a stunningly original project for the release of the film version of Perfume: an olfactory interpretation of Patrick Süskind's work, a treasure trove to reveal the fragrant nature of the book.

This daring journey into the heart of perfumes and fragrances represents an extension of this exceptional tale, translated into fifteen olfactory compositions. It is a quest for emotion, between fantasy and reality, in atmospheres which are at once historic, enigmatic and sensual.

No one has ever dared transform the perfumes and strange scenarios of the novel, which the author describes in such detail, into actual fragrances. These fifteen tailor-made compositions transcend the habitual notions of "a good or bad smell", They are disorientating, disturbing, divine, sensual, icy.., none of the 15 compositions will leave anyone indifferent. They provide access to an utterly new dimension: the sensual perception of words and images.

Thierry Mugler is a leading perfume brand which daringly draws its inspiration from the past so as to reinvent the future. The fascination caused by this book, and then by the scenario, was irresistible and the resulting challenge seemed specially designed for this story-spinning brand.

"To draw from Grenouille's olfactory memory as an inspiration for new creations and so advance our profession... The challenge was both audacious and obvious!" Vera Strübi

Initiation into new experiences and the creation of a "laboratory of new ideas" are a coherent part of the brand's cultural vocation and of its defence of perfume. Like its Perfume Workshops, which reveal the wealth of scents and savours, this project is another contribution from Thierry Mugler Parfums to the cultural heritage of perfumery.

Thierry Mugler is once again there where he was least expected!
This exceptional box provides an access to the olfactory emotions of this extraordinary tale. It pays homage to a literary work, while reminding us that perfumery is as much an art as a cultural artefact.
