L'Essence de Distance & Limited Edition Skunk Polo package

€180.00 Sale

To frame the launch of YVRA 1500 L'Essence de Distance, we created this exclusive polo shirt. An attribute that even the seasoned and spoiled dandy should not turn down.

This perfectly breathable white shirt is made in an airy 100% pique cotton and is limited to only 100 pieces. The polo features an embroidered logo of the good-natured skunk as a tribute to this living metaphor of distance, and as a reference to the powerful YVRA 1500.

The polo shirt is available in sizes M, L or XL. As a wearer, it's good to know that the skunk rarely allows itself to be smelled. It's all about keeping the right distance and not threatening it. If you do, the skunk will first stamp his front legs to enforce the appropriate distance. If you are not sensitive to that, he will spray oily thiols from his erogenous zones with a heavy musky smell that you will smell up to 10 meters away.


Temporarily we are offering this polo together with a 100ml bottle of YVRA 1500 worth €135, now for a total price of €180.

THE SMELL OF DISTANCE AND DISTINCTION

Many people, especially celebrities, sometimes wish for an invisible weapon such as a scent to keep their fellow man at bay. YVRA 1500, with its powerful character, responds to this idea of keeping creatures at a distance.

Therefore, as an ode to the living symbol of distance and in honor of the launch of 1500, YVRA adopted a skunk at the Amsterdam Zoo Artis.

Meet the fragrance

With its irresistible and incomparable fragrance character, YVRA 1500 has quickly found its way to the noses of perfume fetishists and trained aficionados. A scent that you will remember for a long time, once you have been introduced to it... With a mix of woody and spicy ingredients, this new fragrance evokes varying associations.

Some get visions of a vintage sailing yacht because of the heavy chords of wood, rope and black tea. Others will feel a connection with a winter forest due to the presence of Osmanthus, an extremely powerful smelling plant that originates from the Himalayas and Indochina.

Box design

Like all fragrances in the YVRA line, each fragrance and each packaging are carrying their own story. So is YVRA 1500.

As a metaphor for this extremely powerful scent, the packaging features an image of a skunk. Below this quite animal is a little warning:

‘We tested this fragrance on skunks; they ran away’.

A message from the founder

As a style and travel journalist, I have immersed myself in the world of seductive scents from an early age. Thanks to my interviews and close contacts with several renowned perfumers, I have been active in the world of niche perfumes myself since 2017. With my scents I aim to offer an inspiring alternative in a world dominated by commercial fragrances. In composing my scents, I am therefore attracted to the world of original thinkers and dandies. 

After all, the dandy lifestyle is characterized by individuality and an eye for quality, while usually also being quite extravagant and cosmopolitan. This is exactly what we strive for at YVRA: originality, flamboyance and, of course, always an eye for refinement.
