This daring project is a fusion of art,technology,design and limitless olfactive creativity.

Ellie Norman,Director of Marketing & Communications,Formula 1 said: "We are extremely excited to be working with Designer Parfums to unveil our new fragrance collection. The unique fragrances and bespoke F1 inspired bottles embody the dynamic qualities of the sport,and are planning to launch the full collection early next year."

Driven by excellence,exacting precision and advanced technology,legendary to Formula 1®,they have started out on a unique journey to tell the evocative story of Formula 1® through fragrance.

"We are leveraging the sport's heritage and principles to build a unique fragrance brand that merges a highly legitimate approach to the perfume world with the core values of Formula 1. Being the first fragrance brand to utilize 3D printing is a huge achievement,and we look forward to pushing this even further in future years when we will offer consumers the ability to create their own customized designs,"said Dilesh Mehta,Designer Parfums Chairman & CEO.

The advanced engineering of Formula 1®,organic lines and principles of form,provides a richness of references for visionary designer Ross Lovegrove who designed the three 3D printed works of art to mark the launch of the collection. 3D printing was considered to be the obvious and only route to emulate and embody the spirit of F1.

Fans should be prepared to expect the unexpected as they get to experience the bespoke fragrances for the first time and witness what's to come from the truly unique collection in 2020.

Ross's designs include:

AGILE EMBRACE

Based upon principles of form created from flow,the lines embrace the inner core that contains the heart of the design. Acting as a sensual protection similar to how the cars structure surrounds and protects the driver with anatomic precision.

3D printed

FLUID SYMMETRY

Derived from the evolving organic lines of the cars aerodynamic design,this conception is proof that the physics of natural forces in unison with advanced materials can produce a new form of technological bio aesthetic for the 21st Century.

3D Printed Blasted Titanium

COMPACT SUSPENSION

A space frame as an exoskeleton with layers that suspend the inner flask inside a 3D printed geometry that is strong,and references the engineering of advanced innovative structures.

3D printed

Suspended in these first-ever limited edition 3D prints we discover the beating heart of the project – a collection of five exquisite fragrances from the world of Haute Parfumerie.

In creating the F1 Haute Perfumery collection,Designer Parfums have worked with the most advanced perfume houses in the world to create an audacious collection of fragrances that are as well-crafted and carefully engineered as an F1 car. Master Perfumers have taken their inspiration from the exciting,energetic and dynamic world of F1 - fusing next generation raw materials with timeless fragrance structures to create a range of scents that are as thrilling as the race itself.

I - Bracing bergamot and lemon crystallise with freshness against a verdant back drop of nashi leaves with the silvery,metallic quality of pink pepper and elemi. A breezy wave of mineral ambroxan races through the composition,creating a weightless body emboldened by the innovative,daring character of akigalawood. A modern take on classic woods,given a metallic twist.

II - A seamless cohesion of refreshing citrus and the vibrancy of pink pepper represents the symbiotic relationship between the car and the track,racing towards a contradictory salty accord and deep,black patchouli and leather,a novel twist on leather,with inimitable accords of burning rubber and rain on salty asphalt.

III - An aerodynamic composition that races with a fiery blend of Madagascan cinnamon and Calabrian bergamot - two intense materials working in tandem to power a warm and energetic contrast of metal pepper and tonka bean. A unique salty accord brings an innovative,dynamic element that makes a classic style entirely new. An elegant modernisation of amber,made intense through spices and dark woods.

IV – A cavalier and confident fragrance that boasts a daring cocktail of spice,where the heat of black pepper melds with the coolness of juniper,creating a courageous sense of contrast. In the heart,the intoxicating depth of narcissus is tempered by the soft,mineral quality of orris,seamlessly transitioning to a rich,masculine base featuring a fusion of sleek leather and golden Tonkalactone. An audacious re-interpretation of Fougère.

V - A thrilling aromatic built around a champagne accord that represents the prismatic spray of bubbles gleaming from the top spot on the podium. The sparkling,effervescent opening of citrus notes are energised by the electric zing of timut pepper,leading to luminous and fresh geranium,lightened by the elegance of violet leaf and contrasted by the rich,woody facets of sandalwood and ambrocenide. The thrill of celebration captured within a vibrant and energetic aromatic.

Priced up to $10,000,the limited edition works of art,with the collection of five interchangeable fragrances have been showcased at the FORMULA 1 ETIHAD AIRWAYS ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX 2019 from 29th November - 1st December 2019.
