About 2 years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Chris Collins.
Life in New York being what it is people get busy and then they loose touch and then one day you start to think and wonder hey how is that ( fill in the blank ) person I used to email and have a coffee with.
Then you get an invite from another friend that ... guess what so and so is launching their name sake fragrance at Bergdorf Goodman's Men's store . Wow that's fantastic- and that would be Chis.
He is such a good guy is my next comment.
Chris Collins for those of you who don't know is probably one of the most recognized faces for Polo. Way before there were influencers Chris was the leading brand ambassador and face of Polo Ralph Lauren. Not to mention probably one of the most humble grounded, and nicest men anyone could meet. I was only overjoyed to learn about his latest fragrance launch.
Chris created Harlem Nights, Renaissance Man, and Danse Sauvage from a meeting with famed French perfumer Kilian Hennessy ( my favorite other brand ). Like an artist he learned in France about the notes and combinations to curate these alluring fragrances that reference his life, travels, and history.
And this man has some stories and history that only an elite professional male model could share. Nice and extraordinary ! I found myself wanting to smell like Chris!
It makes me overjoyed to see what this man's ambition has produced. The Launch was International Women's Day at Bergdorf Goodmans Men's store and like a true gentleman Chris had his Mom there who he acknowledged.
I am excited to see what's next for Chris Collins!
