Anticonformiste
An ode to New York that contrasts zingy mint and cucumber-like violet leaf with subtle aquatics and woods.
From Mizensir
Anticonformiste, created by Master Perfumer Alberto Morillas, is an homage to a day in New York, a city near and dear to his heart. A fresh aromatic fragrance that starts fresh & zesty with intense woody base notes. With heart notes of patchouli and florals - the surprising association between these two notes allow all genders to wear this floral-ish fragrance that makes it "anti-conformist" per se.
From Perfumer Alberto Morillas
For this homage to New York, I was inspired by the energy and feeling of freedom you feel there, especially when you're creating. To illustrate this, I started with the city's light, which is intense and almost white as it reflects off buildings and carries into the flash of neon lights.
This play of light is represented in the packaging design, with a contrast of pure white against fluorescent green net... For the fragrance, I translated this using calone, the same note I put into Aqua Di Gio by Armani, and CK One by Calvin Klein. This time, I've paired it with the floral duo of gardenia and violet leaf, an expression of simplicity and freshness. This use of calone goes against the usual codes. And this is precisely what I tend to do in my perfumery: free myself from all conformity.
