COLLECTION

Following the launch of our first ever perfume collection, the Liberty Design Studio presents the LBTY capsule – taking a look at the story within the scent, this collection spotlights each print that inspired – and now adorns – its olfactory counterpart. In the creation of LBTY, eight prints were selected from our extensive archive of over 55,000, before world renowned perfumers translated each into an individual fragrance. This capsule spotlights the prints behind the perfume, exploring in depth the artistic, archival origins of each enchanting aroma – all printed onto our meticulously engineered Kensington Crepe de Chine for a lightweight, silky finish.

Regarded as Liberty’s most iconic Art Nouveau design, Ianthe was originally created as a wallpaper layout by French artist René Beauclair around 1902 before being printed for Liberty in 1967. Today, it stands as one of Liberty’s most renowned designs, exemplifying French Art Nouveau with its intricately stylised flowers arranged in a swirling, harmonious pattern. Perfumer Nicholas Bonneville celebrated this design, creating a deep, irreverent oud scent with the aroma of the honeyed mimosa and musky patchouli warming the evening sky under a canopy of cedar and agarwood.

Crepe de chine is one of the best silk bases for daytime wear – it’s effortlessly luxe, with a lightweight drape that’s made more durable by its matte, slightly rough surface. Try using crepe de chine to create a louche effect with wide-leg trousers and loosely tailored shirts, or with fluted sleeves and ruffled accents for a romantic feel.
