Every now and them we hear from people that think the 17.5 ml Puredistance I Perfumespray is only sold in combination with the Puredistance Crystal Column. This is not true! Puredistance Masterperfumes can be purchased separately from the Crystal Column. The idea is to have an elegant perfumespray that can be easily put in a handbag or suitcase, but also fits in a beautiful and rare jewel - the Puredistance Crystal Column - that can be be purchased as an extra.

The rare and precious Crystal Column - which is made by Swarovski exclusively for Puredistance - makes the ultimate gift and is suited for those (gift) occasions where one wishes the memory of the gift will last a lifetime. Marriage being a perfect example.

To illustrate the fact the Crystal Column and the Perfumespray are separately available we did a (very nice) shoot with Marleen Molenaar where she beautifully shows an empty Crystal Column (accessory) and a 17.5 ml. Puredistance I Perfume spray.

Not so long ago Ulrike Knöll from Aus Liebe zum Duft wrote about Puredistance I Perfume: "The colour of the perfume alone is suggestive of cashmere or silk - reflects the character of the wearer. Reserved and precious - "understated elegance", the essence of Puredistance". So visiting Istanbul and reading about Esra Bezek, the owner of Cashmere in Love, I had to see her! In a very noisy city of more than 15 million people I was so happy to find a company that shared our idea of quiet elegance and quality. We met and I really loved the simple but stylish design of her collection. She designs everything herself and uses the highest quality cashmere and silk.

I quote from Esra's website: "Cashmere is soft, comfortable, and special. It is the epitome of luxury, leaving the wearer to think of nothing but the sweetest pleasures known to mankind. It becomes a second skin and wearing cashmere is a personal affair. The garments are simple, beautiful, elegant, reachable and personal. Each garment is produced and presented with love." So much similarities with the Puredistance philosophy!

I am sure one day "Cashmere in Love' will be a well-known brand in the world among people that appreciate something beautiful and rare. I wish Esra lots and lots of success; she really deserves it!
