S&X RANKIN BY THE PERFUMER’S STORY FRAGRANCE LAUNCH AT HARVEY NICHOLS

Award winning fragrance designer Azzi Glasser of The Perfumer’s Story and British photographer Rankin were joined by close friends to celebrate the launch of S&X, a collaborative, unisex fragrance celebrating the beauty of skin on skin.

Azzi & Rankin hosted an exclusive party to celebrate the UK launch at the Harvey Nichols Beauty Lounge, London, immersing guests into a sensorial translation of seduction and style. Champagne by FonteZoppa Metodo Classico was served to toast the new fragrance, along with soft refreshments from Fever Tree and SmartWater. Throughout the evening guests were educated on the key fragrance notes and inspiration behind the scent, had the opportunity to have their picture taken in the infamous Rankomat photo booth, and alongside purchasing the fragrance received complimentary signed copies of Rankin’s new book NSFW – Not Suitable for Work.

Commenting on the scent they have created together, Azzi said; ” Provocative, fearless and wild, S&X combines a hedonistic symphony of notes that tell the story of the touch of bodies, the beauty of skin on skin and above all lasting memories.

Rankin adds, ” I’ve always loved fragrances and have wanted to do one for years. I am fascinated by how Azzi took the more suggestive, sensorial aspects of photography and bottled them. S&X is provocative, naughty and humorous. I love it. ‘

Harvey Nichols Group Commercial Director, Daniela Rinaldi comments: “It is a pleasure to be working exclusively with the talented perfumer Azzi on another exciting collaboration, this time alongside esteemed photographer Rankin. Niche scent is a continuing area of growth for Harvey Nichols and the exclusive S&X fragrance will appeal to our customers’ desire for something bespoke, for an engagement with sensuality and self-expression.

Guests who attended included Sadie Frost, Jemima French, Gary Kemp, Hollie Cook, Yasmin Mills, Tim Noble and Brix Start Smith.
