Smoky rooms behind posh clubs in St. Petersburg in 1897 conjure up images of devoted followers of magic. Kerosene lamp light in the haze of tobacco and ornate mirrors creates the backdrop for the perfect illusion. Dark and hypnotic, his voice is calm and deep. ‘Tsilindr.’ A single word as he removes his famous purple top hat and gently places it back on his head.
Mysterious yet refined. This inspiring blend conjures up a full and rich Western sensibility with its masterful shades of French lavender and vanilla, set against a backdrop of rich chocolate and smooth textures. The grand finale comes when the man has left us and we can still feel his presence, embodied in a unique object, the purple top hat that inspired the eponymous fragrance.
The great Mr. Bojnokopff
His whereabouts are always known
To those who had the pleasure
Of hearing and feeling his voice
The secret of his greatest trick
To be remembered without being seen.
Is it real or just an illusion?
