On the heels of putting the final touches on the new 911 GT2 RS, Porsche Design is launching a new perfume called The Essence Summer Ice. According to autoevolution.com, Porsche says the fragrance has a fresh, vibrant and invigorating citrus aromatic woody perfume that combines exacting taste, purity, elegance, simplicity and contrasts.
“The composition opens with a stimulating, invigorating freshness – defined by a molecule called arctical, specific to all The Essence fragrances – and a refreshing green-citrus accord of Italian lemon, mandarin, green mint and juniper berry. The radiant and woody fragrant trail of the perfume is magnified by Tunisian neroli and cedar wood notes”, reads the press release.
While the scent is manufactured elsewhere, the bottle itself was crafted by Porsche Design. And like all Porsche products, it's sleek, modern and sophisticated.
The actual launch date has not yet been announced.
