Fall Scents – Balenciaga Paris and Bottega Veneta Launch New Fragrances

Balenciaga Paris L’Essence – The essence of the Balenciaga signature fragrance, inspired by the Balenciaga fashion jewels, reflects the high quality and savoir-faire of the brand. The bottle of this leathery violet scent has a reflective, raw effect, as pure as a sharp-edged jewel made of hematite.

Mid: leathery facets of labdanum
Base: cedar wood, patchouli, vetiver

Bottega Veneta – Bottega Veneta, the eau de parfum, evokes the suppleness and sensuality of the house’s renowned leather goods. The fragrance, a leathery floral chypre, marries the olfactory language of the Venetian countryside—fresh meadows, mown hay, flowers, earth, and wood. The bottle itself, inspired by Venetian glasswork and the traditional Italian carafe.

Mid: jasmine, leather, patchouli
Base: oak moss

L’Essence – Balenciaga Home Fragrance

Balenciaga has created a home fragrance: “L’Essence” the candle, inspired by the latest perfume.

More than a candle, it creates an atmosphere of its own, an ambience characterized by the fragrant interplay of leaves, delicate flowers and soft mosses. The Balenciaga “L’Essence” candle sets the scene for a beautiful nightfall, when nature exhales all its rarest scents.

This sophisticated experience, with a sensual violet note, continues the history of Balenciaga perfumes and the flower chosen by Nicolas Ghesquière as the embodiment of his fragrant story.

“L’Essence”… a voluptuous invitation for the senses.

Available now at Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and Balenciaga boutiques and at all specialty stores starting in November 2011.

LN-CC : The Be All, End All Retail Experience

LATE NIGHT CHAMELEON CAFÉ

LN-CC is an inventive London-based multi-platform retail concept. Along with a store space in East London, LN-CC has an online platform.

Store.
The store space was designed by Gary Card, renowned artist and set designer. LN-CC brags the space is more an installation piece than traditional shop. The store/installation piece is separated into at least five rooms conceptualized around the platforms they represent while staying true to the LN-CC space as a whole. Three concept rooms, a book and record store, a club space for private events, and a working photography studio are linked together by an indoor forest and futuristic skeletal tunnel constructed from raw wood and orange acrylic. The club space, completed by early 2011, is equipped with a vintage system to ensure maximum sound quality courtesy of sound engineer Mickey Boyle. LN-CC is planning a Phase 2, which will include more concept rooms and an exhibition space. Those details are still under wraps, but we are looking forward to getting the scoop.

Product.
Yes, to answer your question, you can buy clothes at LC-NN! Unisex inspired menswear and womenswear are curated in a way that fuses the best mainstream brands, underground Japanese brands and up-and-coming labels from all over the world. Examples: Balenciaga, SASQUATCH and J.W. Anderson. The result is a streetwear-influenced selection of the best produced and most sought after product in the world. Not to be upstaged, the books and music offer this same fusion of mainstream and street in an equally accessible form. This project is more than a store, it’s an evolving platform of curated ideas encompassing clothing, music and art in both a physical and digital environment.

The project was initiated by John Skelton (formerly of oki-ni and Harrods) and Daniel Mitchell, with store design by celebrated set designer Gary Card.
