Born from the collaboration with photographers Inez and Vinoodh, 1996 is the olfactory snapshot of a shot of a young girl entitled "Kirsten 1996", taken by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin in that year. Unfolding with the deep icy green beauty of juniper berries, 1996 transports the wearer to another plane and, like the image, unites polar opposites, as the northern hemisphere leads the way and creamy, soft, slightly frivolous violets. The soul of this fragrance is a warm, black, almost viscous amber, a deep sensation reminiscent of cognac, envelops the wearer and time stops for a moment until the journey ends in the softly sensual skin and the oriental patchouli.
