Hiram Green Unveils 'Ultra,' a Natural Fragrance Inspired by the 1980s

Perfumer Hiram Green introduces 'Ultra,' a new natural fragrance, drawing inspiration from the dynamic and self-assured atmosphere of the 1980s. This scent aims to encapsulate the decade's spirit, characterized by bold fashion, distinctive music, and an underlying sense of optimism.

At the heart of 'Ultra' lies the narcissus flower, chosen for its opulent and luminous qualities that evoke the lively essence of the 1980s. The fragrance further develops with a complex blend of neroli, ylang-ylang, jasmine, and floral nectar, balanced by deeper notes of leather, hay, tobacco, and various resins. This carefully curated combination seeks to offer a nuanced olfactory journey that reflects both the decade's vibrancy and a subtle nod to the mythological tale associated with narcissus.

'Ultra' is presented as a 50 ml Eau de Parfum and is priced at €195, offering a unique olfactory interpretation of a memorable era.

The creation of 'Ultra' highlights how historical periods and their cultural nuances can profoundly influence contemporary artistic endeavors, including perfumery. By reinterpreting the past through scent, Hiram Green not only crafts a unique product but also invites individuals to connect with an era known for its boundless energy and confidence, fostering a sense of aspiration and boldness in today's world.
