Home fragrance brand Pura announced the launch of its latest fragrance, Swiss Pine & Eucalyptus, in collaboration with The Met. This scent is inspired by the painting Sunrise on the Matterhorn, created by German-American artist Albert Bierstadt in 1856.
“The painting captures the dramatic contrast between the snow-capped mountain peak reaching skyward and the towering pine trees in the foreground,” said perfumer Stephen Nilsen. “I translated this visual experience into a fragrance by blending the balsamic, spicy facets of pine absolute with the cooling essence of eucalyptus to complete the composition. Creamy sandalwood and vanilla add a cocooning warmth, rounding out the scent.”
Swiss Pine & Eucalyptus joins the Pura x The Met collection, which includes fragrances inspired by the museum’s extensive collection. Other scents in the collection include Blue Water Lotus, Egyptian Sandalwood and Madame X.
Swiss Pine & Eucalyptus is available for purchase at Pura’s website or at the Met Store on Fifth Ave.
