Puredistance Image Collection - no. 002

We stayed some days in Rome to shoot in the romantic Sant' Anselmo Hotel. The Sant' Anselmo Hotel is a wonderful private villa that has been transformed into an alluring hotel, where elegance, the romantic atmosphere and privacy guarantee a perfect stay. Every room is different and can be viewed online at the website of the Aventino Hotelgroup. We look back at a fantastic shoot with Laura Barth in the classic 'Golden Room' of the hotel.

"It's not a fragrance to stare at and admire the virtuosity of the perfumer but rather it's a luxury to be worn in silence. It makes a perfect fusion with the skin. Like the fashion done by women designers in this case the fact that it has been done by a woman is not a surprise. It's like a moment of personal luxury, a secret and intimate pleasure." from a review of Octavian Coifan.

Puredistance is now available in Basel at parfumerie Hyazinth. An enthusiastic and professional sales team will show you all the secrets of the Puredistance Concept.

Key in building our brand is finding, meeting, serving and working with people that share our values. I like to thank the people below because they all have contributed a lot to our search for the right values. Without them the brand Puredistance would never have developed such a strong identity in such a short time.

This week Dulcinea Norton-Smith wrote a review of Puredistance I. She ends her review with the following words:

"The final base notes (which are stil present at the end of a 12 hour day - believe me!) are so subtle and divine that they could almost be mistaken as your natural scent. Almost! If you were a Greek Goddess or Celestial being.

I may have waxed lyrical here but have you ever known me to be so inspired by a scent before? 

It manages to all at once be sensual and whisper of secret liaisons whilst simultaneously being pure and innocent with powdery baby's head undertones.

It elegantly blends citrus with florals with musks so divinely that you struggle to identify which perfume family it fits into. It is quite simply an enigma."

Loes ten Brummelhuis and Gerard Top both served their traineeships at Puredistance. Loes is the best organiser we ever had and her bright common sense was (and is) much appreciated. Gerard is a great thinker and without him this website would never have seen the light of day.

Emmely Janssen worked as a trainee for Puredistance together with Tim Geertsen (see picture below). After extensive research, they have written a valuable report that served us well in approaching the right luxury stores in the right countries.

Wouter Pronk managed the Puredistance Perfume Lounge since it opened its doors in September 2007 till April 2008. Apart from that Wouter has written a great text for the 'The Story of Puredistance' which you can download or browse online by clicking on the 'Press & Info' section of this website.

Wout Meijerhof (picture below) studied the possibilities of organising events in the unique ambiance of the Puredistance Perfume Lounge. Wout is still connected to us through his relationship with Elena Sopadzhieva who manages international sales for Puredistance.
