Paul Smith Sunseeker is a gorgeous summer scent part of his home fragrance collection, inspired by one of his happy summer memories and it really does transport you to holidays spent in Italy.
Sunseeker is inspired by the fond memories of Paul’s laidback holidays and evokes the picturesque Italian seaside and beautiful lemon and orange trees that you see growing everywhere when you are on holiday,
Sunseeker has been created by IFF perfumer Stephanie Anderson. She says:
“For the creation of Sunseeker, I was dreaming of travelling along the Amalfi coast, wandering through endless citrus groves, basking in the glorious Italian sunshine, and finishing the day with an ice cold negroni. Heaven! The candle combines the idea of sparkling, juicy citrus fruit with the bitter, aromatic herbs typical in aperitivo drinks.”
Sunseeker calls to mind sunshine, joy and happiness, conjuring Paul’s memories of Italy using notes of Italian bergamot, mandarin, basil, and musk.
Sunseeker is housed in turquoise glass to represent the warm Mediterranean Sea with a beautiful acid yellow glass that recalls the marvellous and unrelenting Mediterranean sunshine. The candle is designed to be reused and comes with a lid which doubles as a coaster to protect surfaces from heat and spills. The interaction between light and colour was key when designing the striking vessels which, when lit, will subtly recall Paul Smith’s Signature Stripe. Even the box, with its unique “zippered” design, has been carefully considered and is a wink to Paul’s tailoring expertise.
The Paul Smith candles and diffusers are so lovely, you can see the whole collection here.
