The collection dedicated to Andy Warhol, American artist, central figure of pop-art, illustrator, painter, and avant-garde artist in one word, started with the first perfume of the popular brand from New York - Bond No.9.

The first perfume in the Warhol collection was named Andy Warhol Silver Factory and was presented in 2007. It was created in cooperation with Aurelien Guichard. The second perfume of the above collection was presented at the beginning of 2008 and was named Andy Warhol Union Square. It was constructed in cooperation with perfumer Stephen Nilsen and its bottle is available in 10 versions with different floral motifs.

The new edition, third in a row, was named Andy Warhol Lexington Avenue, after the location where Warhol had his first apartment, at 242 Lexington Avenue, very near Murray Hill, on Manhattan. The bottle is cheerful, dynamic and decorated with different colours, with a shoe motif from his old sketches. The necklace which decorates the bottle is made of silver and has 4 pendants in shape of a shoe, which were also inspired by Warhol's sketches.

The perfume was created in cooperation with perfumer Claude Dir of Givaudan, and is composed as a chypre-floral one. It consists of blue cypress, fennel and cardamom, the middle notes are made of pink peony, Florentine orris, crème brûlée and pimento berry, and the base includes patchouli and sandalwood.

The perfume Andy Warhol Lexington Avenue is available in two sizes: 50 ml and 100 ml. It will appear on the market next month, when Andy Warhol would have turned 80 years old.

A new, limited edition of this fragrance in a fiberglass shoe will be introduced in three colours: white, fuchsia and lavender, as 50 ml pure perfume. The shoes will be available in November 2008 for 1100 dollars.
