A grand perfume that wraps around you like a cashmere veil… A perfume like no other, in many ways timeless and hard to describe with words. No.12 perfectly embodies the DNA of Puredistance: timelessly beautiful, elegant and very distinctive in character.
Jan Ewoud nicknamed No.12: ‘Beauty in Blue’. Dressed up in a rich tone of blue, he found it the perfect perfume to complete the MAGNIFICENT XII COLLECTION. No.12 is complex, rich, hard to define, full of character, long lasting in every way and aristocratic without arrogance or pretension.
DARK AND ENLIGHTENED AT THE SAME TIME, THIS STUNNING PERFUME PLAYS WITH CONTRASTS LIKE NO OTHER: A FRAGRANT CHIAROSCURO, BOTH ENIGMATIC AND ELEGANT, GLISTENING AND SOMBER AT THE SAME TIME, LIKE A HIDE OF THE SHINIEST BLACK LEATHER.
Material is a paradox – through materiality, it evokes immateriality, teaching us to look beyond appearances and to realise that what matters is often unseen; an experience akin to standing in a grove and seeing in the sweltering shade a multitude of textures and manifold hues of wood and leaf and bark; all coming together into one.
