Fairy Tales

Princesses, good vampires, pixies and more… Fairy tales from our childhood and imaginary characters have inspired designers.

Want a little fantasy in your life? The English brand Jo Malone unveils Wild Bluebell, a whimsical fragrance with an unusual communication campaign. A modern pixie frolics with bunny rabbits in a field of bluebells.
This fairy-tale atmosphere can also be found at jewelers Van Cleef & Arpels. Rose des Neiges (“Snow Rose”), the special winter edition of their perfume Féerie, carries us away to a snow-covered imaginary land… and the fragrance’s signature Tinkerbell-like fairy now perches atop a delicately pearly white bottle.

For those who prefer princesses to fairies, Nina Ricci throws open the doors to her wonderful world, with a collectible edition of Nina christened Snow Princess.
But more dangerous characters are being featured as well, like the vampires from Twilight, and even Lucifer, whose name has been leant to a scented candle.
Fragrance brands clearly aren’t lacking in imagination!
