IN APPRECIATION OF: LIBERTY LBTY. FRAGRANCE’S ZEPHIRINE

Inspired by a palace garden filled with peacocks, the Beauty Hall of Fame welcomes our majestic bestseller

By: Georgia Graham

The Synopsis

A history which spans three centuries, bottled into five artful scents. Capturing the essence of our creative legacy, the Liberty LBTY. collection sees our archival prints transformed into fragrances - with a little help from some of the world’s finest perfumers. As the most ornate of the five, Liberty LBTY. Fragrance's Zephirine Eau de Parfum, 100ml, £225, prides itself on being the bestseller in our Fragrance Hall, beloved for its rich, ambery notes and abundant, explorative nature. Decorated with preening peacocks, Zephirine shares the bird’s signature confidence and beauty.

The Rise to Fame

A visit to Liberty’s iconic Tudor flagship is always a voyage of discovery. Mirroring this journey through the medium of scent, the Liberty LBTY. fragrances are a trip through the stories, surprises and memories that define our artistic heritage. Think of them as spanning three centuries in every spritz!

The Credentials

Zephirine is the creation of Frank Voelkl, a Master Perfumer renowned for his emotive fragrances. This hallmark is reflected in Zephirine, which is designed to stir the creative spirit and inspire freedom of expression. Paintbrushes at the ready…

Based on the ‘Eden’s Awakening’ print, designed by Walter Crane in 1889, Zephirine evokes this same sense of delight and discovery, conjuring a magical palace garden waiting to be explored. There we find not only peacocks, but also fig leaves, rose petals and the woody aromas of incense, leather and vetiver.

The Star Quality

Zephirine’s spicy sweetness comes from the extract of Rose Centifolia, known as ‘the queen of flowers’ due to its small yield and majestic scent. Embodying both masculine and feminine qualities, this regal rose makes for a versatile, genderless fragrance.

For a full peacock display, we recommend wearing it with something flamboyant from our fashion department.
