A feminine and Fresh Scent from Badgley Mischka’s Mark & James Collection
Famed designers Mark Badgley and James Mischka have been distinctively dressing scores of women for over three decades. Hailed by Vogue as one of the “Top 10 American Designers,” the duo are known for their evening wear and accessories. So, it’s no surprise they’re now designing fragrances too. What better way to finish off your elegant look with an equally flattering scent.
Their collection, aptly titled Mark & James, debuted in 2022 and offers a trio of scents: Ava, Poppy and Audrey. Formulated by the designers themselves at their Palm Beach atelier, this debut collection is intended for a younger wearer; someone new to both the brand as well as perfume in general too. It’s for the beginning of one’s fragrance journey. And there’s no better scent than Audrey for a first-time-fragrance wearer. Feminine and fresh, Audrey embodies a delicate balance of bergamot, apricot and honeysuckle. It’s not overly empowering, yet it’s enough to awaken the senses.
Named after the famous starlet, Audrey Hepburn herself was a fan of finer fragrances. Just as with her fashion choices, the actress liked to experiment with perfumes too. Givenchy, the French fashion brand, even had an exclusive perfume designed specifically for Hepburn. In 1957 Hubert De Givenchy himself created a special perfume for his friend Audrey, and named it L’Interdit. It’s known to some as “The Audrey Hepburn perfume.”
