When developing Sunseeker, I dreamed of a trip along the Amalfi Coast, wandering through endless citrus groves and enjoying the glorious Italian sun before ending the day with an ice-cold Negroni. Heavenly! The candle combines the idea of sparkling, juicy citrus fruits with the bitter, aromatic herbs typical of aperitivos.
Memories: Paul's relaxed holidays in the Italian countryside. Smells like warm summer air, outdoor dining at sunset and balmy orange groves.
The fragrance
The fragrance was carefully developed by perfumers Céline Barel and Meabh McCurtin at IFF (International Flavours and Fragrances) to remain true to Paul Smith's individual sensibility. The specially selected ingredients include fine natural oils sourced from LMR Natural (Laboratoire Monique Remy), one of the world's most renowned suppliers of raw materials, which has been supplying the world's best perfumers for many years.
The glass
Made from two-tone, complementary glass, the vessels are designed to be reused. They come with a lid that doubles as a coaster to protect surfaces from heat and spills.
The interplay of light and colour was key to the design of the striking vessels, which, when lit, subtly echo Paul Smith's signature stripe. Even the box, with its unique zip design, has been carefully thought out and is a nod to Paul Smith's expertise as a tailor.
