David Yurman is building a fragrance business with his latest trio collection ‘The Essence Collection’ which is meant to evoke characteristics of pink tourmaline, peridot and citrine.
The three new fragrances, which will be launched in early February at Boomingdale’s and were developed by Harry Fremont, the master perfumer of Firmenich, who also crafted the formula for Yurman’s original 2008 signature scent.
The amber-colored Exotic Essence, which is meant to symbolize citrine, is classified as a modern sensual oriental and features notes of creamy vanilla absolute, radiant amber and lucid Australian sandalwood to add mystery. Musk and peach skin were added for a touch of sensuality. A hint of Casablanca lily melded with rose petals forms a heart enhanced by patchouli and exotic woods. Sparkling mandarin was added to give the formula an edge.
The second scent, a peridot-inspired green-colored Fresh Essence, is considered a fruity floral. Its top notes include sparkling apple, cassis, juicy red fruits and fresh greens. Rose, peony and water lily comprise the mid-range. Drydown notes consist of soft musk, cashmere woods and cedarwood.
The third fragrance is called Delicate Essence and is described as a modern floral, inspired by tourmaline. Pink pepper, lotus blossom and sparkling orange are the top notes. Pink peony blossom, wild rose and rose absolute are in the midrange, while sheer amber, blonde woods and skin musk form the drydown.
The fragrances will be retailed for a suggested price of $85 for a 3.4-oz. eau de toilette spray.
