Our ambition is to build a fragrance brand that merges both a highly legitimate approach to the perfume world with the core values of Formula 1,” said Dilesh Mehta, chairman and CEO of Designer Parfums.
“We are working very hard to do this differently, and are willing to take risks, just like the sport does, from the way we develop the most amazing fragrances, to the concept and the way to market it, from the bottle to the packaging. We want to make sure fans and consumers feel a strong connection to what Formula 1 stands for. For this, we have commissioned the visionary designer Ross Lovegrove to help us translate this spirit aesthetically and deliver a design that marries technology, new materials with breakthrough packaging,” he added.
