How was the contest idea conceived?

Extrait had the idea of Amouage Perfumes Contest with the purposet to involve all perfume lovers and everyone else in an entertaining "web 2.0 storytelling" inspired by fragrances. This is the starting point of Extrait collaboration with Amouage through Finmark, the brand’s Italian distributor.

During the latest years, under the artistic direction of Christopher Chong, the omanian perfumes creator associated a videos set to their fragrances, taking inspiration from the tradition of Arabian Nights. A mysterious man appears in the video of Jubilation, the perfume celebrating the 25th anniversary of Amouage.

Realising how many people were curious to discover the identity and the role of the mysterious man, Christopher Chong decided to create a sequel of the story in a video for the launch of a new fragrance scheduled for 2010.

Mr. Chong is also very keen about the internet, a frequent blog participant and a convinced supporter of one to one communication. He has then accepted the invitation from Extrait by involving all readers and all internet users to develop the story, suggesting to disclose the identity of the mysterious man.

Extrait did not and will not receive any sponsorships for this contest.
Amouage Perfumes Contest is one of the initiatives by means of which Extrait aims to promote the culture and art of perfumery by creating a direct communication channel between scent creators and many fragrance lovers.
