Fragrance is inherently rebellious. Adding a dash of bright colour to a garment is the same as adding a spritz of fragrance to the skin. It heightens the mood and alludes to olfactory memories and feelings. Cult fragrance brand Nineteen Sixty-Nine (19-69) delves deeper into these memories, bottling moments inspired by countercultural movements of the past.

Founded by Swedish artist Johan Bergelin, 19-69 stands for freedom, tolerance, and counterculture. Each scent is gender neutral, is inspired by a different era, culture or setting with strong influences of art and music each adorned with a unique colourful accent. Together, the collection of fragrances create a rainbow, which in the year 1969, stood for peace and freedom.

The 19-69 Hotel Collection is no different with decadent formulations that hold moments in time just as their fragrance counterparts do. Each collection captures the meaning of their title, name, scent and colour bestowed by 19-69 and conveys the subversive identity of the brand.

In commitment to protecting the memories of the past for the future, the 19-69 Hotel Collection utilizes Post Consumer Recycled (PCR) Materials, which repurposes disposed single-use plastics, in both their bottles and. Each decadent formulation of the 19-69 Hotel Collections is both Vegan Certified and PETA Approved.
