Korres Rose Wood/Blackcurrant/Cyclamen, Saffron/Amber/ Agarwood/Cardamom, Pepper/Jasmine/Gaiac Wood/Passion Fruit (2009) {New Perfumes}
Korres has introduced a series of three perfumes presenting interesting note contrasts inspired by four main fragrance facets: spice, fruit, wood and flower. They are called - the descriptive names are quite long - Rose Wood/Blackcurrant/Cyclamen, Saffron/Amber/ Agarwood/Cardamom, Pepper/Jasmine/Gaiac Wood/Passion Fruit. Special care was taken to develop eco-friendly formulae...
"As part of an ongoing effort to eliminate potential exposure to polycyclic-musk (PCM), nitro-musk and phthalates, Korreshas opted for a fragrance that is free of these synthetic, non-biodegradable compounds that are widely used as fragrance fixatives and are known to cause irritations and bioaccumulation; Korresdeveloped instead a formula, preserved with a natural food-grade antioxidant - Rosmarinus officinalis [rosemary]."A philosophy of perfume is proposed,
The blends incorporate further notes than the ones listed in the titles of the scents.
"What is fragrance nowadays? For George Korres it's an expression of individuality and mood, a reflection of the various sides of one's self. A unique fragrance. Not easy. Not temporary'.[...] A fragrance that is translated into three [3] different blends, each of which was created independently. Grasse, Tokyo, Genève. One brief, yet three of the world's leading perfume houses working closely with George Korres - one perfume house for each scent."
