Introducing ANDREA MAACK PARFUMES

We're very excited to introduce perfumes to Mclean & Page. Have a read and see which one sounds like you...

Maack is the founder and co-owner of ANDREA MAACK PARFUMS. She launched her eponymous line of unique fragrances in September 2011 at Pitti Fragranze through artistic fragrance distributor Intertrade Europe. Intertrade Europe, who also works with renowned brands such as Byredo, Nasomatto, and New York cult brand Six Scents, felt the collection was a perfect complement to its array of artistic fragrances. The niche brand, now retailing in over 60 shops worldwide, has fast become a favorite with both the perfume world and the fashion/art crowd. Because of its unusual background and story, the brand crosses between art, fashion and scent.


Smart started with a delicate pencil drawing, mapping the road to this unique scent.  
Developed for an art exhibition, the inspiration for Smart comes from an empty 
white gallery space.  At first it is a light scent but as you go deeper it has a darker,
 slightly erotic mood lurking under the surface. An addictive scent with hidden notes,
 completely unique in its own way.
 
Ingredients: Violet leaf, jasmine, sandalwood, vanilla, white musk, buckskin.

Craft stands for Couture Art, drawing heavily on the originality of artists.  
This scent was created for a museum show to enhance the experience of
 a unique work of art, a hand made sculptural dress made from original 
pencil drawings. With Craft, you can feel the concentration, the charcoal 
colliding with paper and the sheer perseverance of the artist.  As an homage 
to Haute Couture and unusual fragrances, Craft is a godlike scent for a 
once in a lifetime experience.
 
Ingredients: Aldehydes, elemi, cold metal, ice, cedar wood, patchouli.

Sharp was made for an art exhibition to accompany an artisanal dress 
with drawings carved into the material, creating a repetitive signature pattern. 
The precision of the artwork can be found in the essence of this scent, within
 the delicate layering of notes, which sharpen as the perfume is dissected. 
Sharp is a statement piece, an attention seeker - you will never go unnoticed whilst wearing it. 
 
Ingredients: Orange blossom, angel skin, sweet vanilla, white musk, soothing softness.




Dark is heavily oxidized rose mixed with violets and leather. Its a take on 
the classic rose note, a bloody, flowery, leathery, seductive perfume with a purpose. 
The heavy metallic note in the scent brings an unexpected surprise while its animalistic 
and powdery side suggests certain comfort both reassuring and protective. 
Dark is a scent with a mind of its own, and it can take you to places you never dreamed of going. 

Ingredients: Yellow mandarin, pink bays (berries), petitgrain, lemon tree,
 aldehydes, rose, metal, green apple, ambergris, orange blossom, Virginia cedarwood.


Silk feels like a delicate fabric touching the skin.  Drawing inspiration from 
original hand-drawn prints, it is a scent of timeless luxury, paying tribute to 
French fashion houses with a heritage of silk scarves.  The idea of Silk is
 to enhance the feeling of wearing a perfume - its powdery, airy, earthy, 
leathery aura makes you imagine a silky smoothness caressing your neck.  
 
Ingredients: Violet leaves, freesia, lime tree, linen, magnolia,
 Spanish cistus, earth (ground), papyrus, vanilla, amber.
