Alexander McQueen’s wildness of nature

Earlier this week the British fashion house launched an eight-piece fragrance at the Charterhouse in London (which has served as a private mansion, a school and an almshouse, which it remains to this day). The fragrance collection was inspired by the artistry of haute perfumery, innovation, and contemporary design. The historic building courtyard and cloisters were the ideal backdrop for Alexander McQueen’s launch and mimicked the characteristics of the brand.

Take personal fragrance a step further and employ a scent to suit your property and style from the world’s sorcerer of scent.
