Philippe Starck enters fragrances with the debut of a perfume trio

Renowned designer and architect Philippe Starck has made his first move into the world of perfumery, with the launch of his own artisanal fragrance range: "Parfums Starck Paris".

Introduced by his licensee, Perfumes y Diseño Group, the first offering from the Parfums Starck Paris range will debut on August 21 as a collection of three eaux de toilettes to be carried exclusively at Neiman Marcus and Neimanmarcus.com.

According to the American press, Starck spent almost three years concocting the first set of scents, which have been formulated around out-of-the-box concepts such as "Peau D'Ailleurs", which aims to capture the scent of "elsewhere".

Starck also hinted that the next collection of three fragrances will come out next year, with yet another three in the pipeline, slated for release in 2018.
