Exploring The Fragrance Notes In The Mcqueen Collection

Alexander McQueen has launched eight new fragrances as part of the McQueen Collection. Each fragrance explores specific facets of natural raw materials, including Rose, Lily, Orchid, Amber, Osmanthus, Vetiver, Papyrus and Immortelle. The collection is available in Harrods as a 75ml Eau de Parfum at the price of £175.00 / EUR 220 each.

Kingdom, composed by Jacques Cavallier, was the first fragrance in the McQueen collection

The fragrance was developed with YSL Beauté and disappeared from shelves by 2008. It was followed by My Queen, which came out two years later in 2005, and My Queen Light Mist in 2007.

Alexander McQueen has 19 perfumes in the fragrance base, with the earliest edition created in 2003 and the newest from 2018.

My Queen was the second fragrance in the collection

Alexander McQueen launched eight new fragrances in the McQueen Collection, including Rose, Lily, Orchid, Amber, Osmanthus, Vetiver, Papyrus and Immortelle. My Queen was the second fragrance in the collection, launched two years after Kingdom in 2003. My Queen was developed with YSL Beauté and disappeared from shelves by 2008. The juice itself is made with an unconventional mix of ingredients that flourish at night: Sambac jasmine, tuberose and ylang-ylang. There are also top notes of clove, pink and black pepper, as well as vetiver. The campaign was shot by Paolo Roversi in the romantic forest of Fontainebleau, outside Paris, and shows a close-up of the model Maartje Verhoef, against a dark background, her face framed by tree branches. The fragrance is reminiscent of McQueen, with its Gothic genetics and eternal fascination with the dark beauty.

The McQueen collection includes eight fragrances in total

The McQueen collection is not the first fragrance launch by the fashion house. In 2003, the brand released Kingdom, composed by Jacques Cavallier. This was followed by My Queen in 2005, both of which were developed with YSL Beauté.
