PS: You collaborate often, but how was the process of creating a fragrance together — did you always agree or was there any challenge that came up?
IT: It took nearly two years of research and testing to create the Crystal Honey and Kuba Rose. We are always creating something, but this undertaking was much more scientific and technical. Perfume is another way of speaking, so it had to be personal to us and really add something to your world!
PS: So there were no surprises about what the other felt strongly about. You were always aligned on what you wanted.
RT: We have very different noses, but we both love delicate and mysterious notes, which often attract us to the same scents. We do love each other’s smell, which is where it all starts.
IT: I tend to like complex, abstract aromas that are beyond time, like my fashion designs. I enjoy smelling through layers and being delighted by the unexpected surprise.
