French modernist Charlotte Perriand was famous for many incredible things. She was a close collaborator of legendary architect Le Corbusier. She has designed some of the world’s most celebrated chairs, some of which — including one chaise longue that is so comfortable that it has become the most popular prop in the adult film industry are still in production today. She’s also known for her love of Japanese furniture and craftsmanship, having lived there while serving as an official advisor for industrial design to France’s Ministry for Trade and Industry in the ’40s.
It’s been 80 years since she embarked on a steamship to Japan and more that two decades since she passed away at the ripe old age of 96, but her legacy has continued to inspire. Aesop is the latest brand to pay tribute to Charlotte’s time in Japan. And it is the first to do so with a fragrance. Described as “an intense yet tender fragrance” that appeals to all genders, Rozu eau de parfum was inspired by the variety of Japanese rose named after Charlotte, as well as the designer’s trailblazing career in a world dominated by men.
