Vilhelm Parfumerie

Purple Fig Eau de Parfum

This Vilhelm Parfumerie Purple Fig Eau de Parfum is a celebration and a memory of Johann Friedrich Struensee, doomed doctor of the Danish court, and the last night before his death. Champagne and figs, his favorite fruit, were on the menu at the picnic with his love and friends. The joy and tears, sorrow and laughter of the night are reimagined in a bittersweet cocktail that lives on in this perfume.

Vilhelm Parfumerie is a niche fragrance brand that blends vintage with the new to create scents that elicit recognition but not familiarity. The label works with renowned French perfumers Jerome Epinette, Bertrand Duchaufour and Marc-Antoine Corticchiato who creatively collaborate for each fragrance. From the popular creations such as Mango Skin, Dear Polly and Room Service to the lesser known masterpieces Morning Chess and Oud Affair, every perfume is packaged in an heavy spun glass bottle and dressed in a saffron yellow label to represent Vilhelm Parfumerie’s contemporary aesthetic. Jan Ahlgren, the founder, named the perfumery after his grandfather as a tribute to the glamor of his era. Discover the brand below.
