Puig Unveils Colonias Absolutas: A New Chapter in Fragrance
Puig has proudly launched a new collection named Colonias Absolutas, featuring four unique fragrances expertly developed by the esteemed perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena. This series pays homage to Puig's heritage and the rich olfactory traditions of the Mediterranean. The collection reimagines three well-loved Puig classics—Agua Brava, Agua Lavanda Iris, and Agua Noble—and introduces a fresh creation, Agua Mediterránea, which draws inspiration from the natural scents of the region.
Each fragrance in the Colonias Absolutas line offers a distinct olfactory journey. Agua Brava, reinterpreted by Ellena, maintains its signature freshness with lavender, mint, and savory notes, enriched by deeper woods and oakmoss, aiming for a more intense and masculine appeal. Agua Lavanda Iris skillfully combines the freshness of lavender with the elegant essence of white iris, supported by vegetal musk and angelica, creating a sophisticated yet approachable scent. Agua Noble, a collaboration between Ellena and Manuel Puig, emphasizes the generous presence of orange blossom, delivering a luminous and refined aroma with subtle leather undertones. Finally, Agua Mediterránea captures the serene essence of a fig tree on a summer day, blending fig leaf with fresh mint and soft citrus to evoke a sense of shaded tranquility and Mediterranean lightness, complemented by cedar notes.
The Colonias Absolutas collection is available in 200 ml Colonia Absoluta bottles, each priced at £180. For those wishing to explore the range, a discovery set containing four 10 ml bottles is offered at £70. This collection not only celebrates Puig's origins but also showcases a harmonious blend of tradition and modern perfumery, inviting wearers to experience the essence of the Mediterranean through these artfully crafted scents. It represents a commitment to quality and a passion for creating perfumes that resonate deeply with history and nature.
