Clive Christian Collaborates with Domingo Zapata on New Fragrance Bottle Design

Clive Christian Perfume, a UK-based fragrance house, has introduced a new scent named Strange Heavens Out Of The Blue, created in partnership with Spanish artist Domingo Zapata. This release marks the third installment in the brand's Addictive Arts collection, aiming to challenge conventional perfume boundaries. Zapata contributed a miniature panda illustration in his distinctive artistic manner, applied to a cobalt blue bottle that references Victorian-era poison containers. The fragrance is described as bold and intricate, with a 25 percent concentration featuring notes of coffee, aniseed, orange flower, and vanilla caramel. According to the brand, the scent draws inspiration from artistic and literary themes, positioning it as a compelling olfactory experience. Zapata remarked that the perfume evokes sensations of freshness, summer, and travel, aligning with his panda motif, which symbolizes balance and joy. The collaboration seeks to explore indulgent emotions through scent, with previous entries in the series including Jump Up and Kiss Me. The launch was detailed in a promotional article on Dezeen, dated April 2, 2026, highlighting the fusion of perfumery and visual art.
