Marchesa Launches First Fragrance
First Reem Acra and now Marchesa! Marchesa's signature glamour goes from red carpet to fragrance counters this fall with their first scent, set to launch in September, Marchesa Parfume d'Extase.
“Eveningwear evokes an emotion, and this scent does the same thing,” said Chapman, the label’s designer, who cofounded the line with business partner Craig in 2004. Much like the duo’s red carpet gowns, the bottle features plenty of detail and sparkle. Craig and Chapman worked with Malin Ericson of Vanessa Stevens + Company to create a clear faceted bottle that evokes raw quartz crystal banded with hand-set crystal accents resembling a bow. “We looked at our handbags and the signature crystals they have, and we really wanted to incorporate that element,” said Chapman.
