The fragrance
Like a magical elixir, the warm oriental notes of 14Hour Dream open the door to a psychedelic dimension, creating an endless multi-sensory journey. Sound experiences and visual imagery mingle, blurred by the intense scent of patchouli - reminiscent of trips to India - and distorted by the hypnotic notes of Pink Floyd. The sensuality of vanilla envelops everything and everyone, evoking an ecstatic crowd dancing in harmony. An olfactory tribute by master perfumer Antoine Lie to one of the most legendary music festivals of the 1970s and the sonic virtuosities that gave rise to new musical dimensions.

Unforgettable memories
London - 1967. In the Victorian ‘Alexandra Palace’, the 14 Hour Technicolor Dream is taking place: a non-stop music, theatre, dance and poetry fundraising marathon, organized to support the underground magazine “International Times”. It’s 5am, Pink Floyd starts playing for an ecstatic crowd. The first rays of light break on the mirrors of Syd Barrett’s guitar, marking the birth of a new music era: psychedelic rock. The kaleidoscopic effect given by the lights reflected on Syd’s guitar and enhanced by the distortions of this legendary solo, create the perfect atmosphere for this multi-sensorial journey, an endless psychedelic experience where the alterations of sound frequency, together with visual effects unveil new, unknown worlds, and give start to new musical paths.

From music notes to olfactory notes
The perfume is an overdose of two opposite ingredients: patchouli and vanilla. Patchouli, the most widely used essential oil in the 70s, brings the memory back to that generation’s favorite trips to Goa, an Indian paradiserich in flowers, amazing perfumes as well as an intriguing place of transgression. Vanilla, with its sensual nuance, cocooning and enveloping, expresses both the feeling and the experience of the new social revolution.
"I can’t stop thinking about that mystic image: people dancing in ecstasy, enchanted by the rays of light coming from that mirrored guitar. A magic kaleidoscope enlightens the Palace."
V-Monkeys, 1967
