{"title":"Strangelove NYC","description":"Strangelove NYC was founded in 2013 by Elizabeth Gaynes, who also founded Gaia One, an organization committed to changing the way raw materials for perfumery are sourced. The company works with both with Givaudan, the giant fragrance \u0026amp; flavor company, and with a 600-acre plantation on the island of Borneo, to grow organic crops, including agarwood, for the extraction of high quality essential oils. \nStrangelove NYC then highlights the beauty of the oils by placing them at the center of jewel-like fragrances, all composed by master perfumer, Christophe Laudamiel. The perfumes are hand-crafted in small batches in the artisanal manner, using only the most exquisite grade of natural raw materials available. Lovers of artisan-distilled attars and essential oils will want to smell these perfumes, to see how the precious naturals are shown off to advantage. But the level of refinement and sophistication brought to bear on these fragrances also ensure that they will satisfy those with a yen for the polish of classic French perfumery.  \nThe brand is also proud to feature the Creative Direction of legendary photographer, writer and philanthropist Helena Christensen, who has been instrumental in translating these uniquely luxurious scents into an unforgettable visual style that ensures these treasured fragrances are beautiful, outside and in. \n","products":[{"product_id":"fall-into-stars-by-strangelove-nyc","title":"Fall Into Stars","description":"\u003cp\u003eFall Into Stars is a meditation on the universe itself: dark, mysterious, yet leaving a trail of powerful illuminations.
