The Aura collection includes an Eau de toilette, Eau de parfum, bath line, jewels and a special crystal flacon of "extrait de parfum."



Says Swarovski, "Tall, sleek, and extremely sophisticated, the flacon is almost completely concealed by the silver sheath of the lid, with its crystal-cut topper and genuine embedded Swarovski crystal. It's like a miniature sculpture for the dressing table - a true objet d'art. A hint of the blushing pale pink juice peeks out from underneath the silver, lending a soft touch to the sharp lines of the bottle."



Nicolas says,"I wanted to create an object that is timeless, something which could have been in a palace in Vienna in the beginning of the last century, or could be the focal point in a modern loft in New York, or could be featured in a futuristic movie. This creation had to represent these types of simplicity, of obviousness, as well as a strong character that is unique and immediately recognizable."
