Project Renegades came about when three acclaimed perfumers broke free of the corporate world and did something really crazy. They created fragrances without any boundaries - no focus groups, no restrictions on what materials to use, and not taking themselves seriously. These three went rogue and created daring fragrances in a fictional world of three mixologist cowboys, gunslingers, world class perfumers gone rogue.
According to Mark Buxton “Fragrances aren’t daring enough. We are the Freaks who are going to change that”. Bertrand Duchaufour says “It’s not just edgy it’s over the edge.”
Geza Schoen has already spent his career as a visionary modernist perfumer who makes a habit out of breaking the rules. Given the opportunity to go rogue, he chose to create a fragrance that is constructed around pink pepper and creates a portrait of the entire tree. It features top notes of pink pepper oil, pink pepper absolue, cassis, lemon, lime and bergamot; middle notes of fir, juniper, osmanthus absolue, hedione, hedional, iris pallida absolue and mate; and base notes of Iso E Super, cedarwood, sandalwood, labdanum, incense, myrrh, castoreum, musk and ambrette. It is an eau de toilette, edt.
