‘The latest releases from the Sketchbook collection explore some of the many ways in which desire manifests itself. This Blank Page Edition is a nod to the perfume’s initial state of existence on paper, stripped of its predecessor’s material excess. The flacon of P.13 Blank Page Edition is deliberately suggestive, designed to allow the mind to wander. The bondage-style cord applied in glossy black paint encircles the flacon tightly, giving the perfume taboo connotations of lust and control. This figurative cord can’t simply be opened, it must be broken in order to set the restrained subject free, creating an imbalanced dynamic: the powerless and the powerful. The tantalising crimson perfume, with its white floral scent, is left at the mercy of its owner.’ – Xerjoff
