Clive Christian Perfume launches a perfume inspired by The Picture of Dorian Gray

Clive Christian Perfume has just unveiled its latest fragrance, Strange Heavens Out Of The Blue, and it is launching in Dubai today. You can now purchase it across Bloomingdale’s Dubai Mall, Harvey Nichols Mall of the Emirates, Bloomingdale’s Reem Mall, Ounass, and Bloomingdales.com.

The new scent is inspired by The Picture of Dorian Gray, drawing directly from Oscar Wilde’s descriptions of Victorian decadence. Translating literature into scent, Strange Heavens Out Of The Blue explores the contrast between light and shadow that is unexpectedly playful.

Part of the house’s cutting-edge Addictive Arts collection, the fragrance is built around a bold and provocative composition. Notes of coffee, aniseed and baies rose open the scent, leading into a heart of jasmine absolute and orange flower, before settling into a rich base of cocoa absolute, vanilla caramel and smoky accords. Together, the layers create an immersive olfactory experience designed to linger and evolve on the skin.

The launch is accompanied by an artistic collaboration with contemporary artist Domingo Zapata, whose signature panda motif features on the bottle design. Symbolising balance, joy and playful mystery, the artwork transforms the flacon into a collectable object, blurring the boundaries between fine fragrance and visual art.

Strange Heavens Out Of The Blue reinforces Clive Christian’s reputation for uncompromising luxury, craftsmanship and storytelling, offering Dubai’s fragrance connoisseurs a scent rooted in literature, art and indulgent emotion.
