On the evening of February 13th, over forty journalists, influencers and retailers were invited to step back in time to the Jazz Age and through the doors of a 1930s speakeasy to experience The World of Chris Collins. Chris flew in from his home in New York City to introduce guests to his latest fragrant creation, Sweet Taboo. Over champagne, canapes and the laid-back sounds of the Jazz Dynasty band, he told the story of his journey from fragrance obsessive to fragrance creator, and how the music, literature and nightlife of the 1930s Harlem Renaissance inspired his collection.

Chris’s first three fragrances, Harlem Nights, Renaissance Man & Danse Sauvage are available exclusively at Harvey Nichols Knightsbridge and Manchester, with Sweet Taboo set to launch in the coming months.
