Rosendo Mateu - Olfactory Journeys Collection - 1988
1988 The third stop on the olfactory journey through the life of master perfumer Rosendo Mateu takes us to New York. Here, at the epicentre of the creative art of perfumery in the 1980s, Rosendo Mateu found a place of freedom and modernity that would have a lasting influence on his life's work. As a fragrance in the Olfactory Journeys Collection, 1988 describes the artist's self-confidence and personal strength in an exquisite maritime composition.
The fragrance
1988's gracefully interwoven interplay of a citrus-fresh opening with the maritime heart of the composition reveals the progressive development of the artist Rosendo Mateu. Delicately balanced, the notes of 1988 play around the senses and form the intoxicating, captivating calm of the ocean from ozonic, salty, woody and aquatic notes. Its base, composed of white musk, exquisite spices and contrasting woods, emphasises the gentle waves of 1988, whose rushing sound tells of development and self-discovery. Shiny gold and graphic, 1988's flacon design captures the essence of the composition and lends it timeless elegance.
