Maybe you can always get what you want—especially if a limited-edition Rolling Stones fragrance is on your holiday wish list.
In a partnership between the always-iconic Rolling Stones, world-renowned fragrance innovator Nirvana Brands and Bravado, RS No.9 ($100) is a “unique scent that summons the spirit of a scene that made history, the place where it all began.”
Said to evoke “London’s Soho in 1962″—the year The Stones played their first gig at the Marquee Club—RS No.9 has bourbon-infused notes that meet a warm leather, with a musk, oud and patchouli dry down. Limited to 999 numbered bottles, the fragrance is available to purchase in RS No.9 stores in London and Tokyo, as well as online.
Inspired by The Rolling Stones’ RS No.9 Carnaby store on London’s Carnaby Street, the bottle design “brings to life the vivid graffiti-style song lyrics that decorate the store’s glass floor in a new form, adorning an elegant apothecary-style bottle.” As expected, the cap features the famous tongue and lips logo created by John Pasche.
“It’s the perfect fragrance for those who dare to be different and we hope it will bring some joy to our fans,” the band shared in a release.
“This was a dream project,” says perfumer Catherine Selig, adding that the development took a few years to bring to fruition. “I wanted to capture The Rolling Stones’ timelessness…their inimitable style, rebellious spirit, and the feeling of freedom their music still inspires. Every note represents a different facet of the Stones’ legacy, from their soulful melodies to their on-stage unpredictability. This fragrance is a journey through their world, filled with richness, texture and bold contrasts.”
