Female Christ embodies the walk of a naked woman with a cross on her back through the Copenhagen Stock Exchange - an art performance from 1969 that will be remembered forever. A freeze image surrounded by this warm, earthy, velvety patchouli scent, which becomes an olfactory adventure through invigorating nuances of spicy-herbal aromas of eucalyptus and pimento. In its naked honesty, the earthy note meets a sweet and juicy fresh balance of rhubarb and berries. As you step forward, it leaves its legacy, a mysteriously woody and spicy sweetness of amber, cinnamon bark and cashmere wood. An art that exists while still in the making - earthy and woody with integrity. The most stylish yet provocative arrangement of a patchouli fragrance.

Behind the Fragrance

Johan Bergelin: “In 1969, a naked woman carrying a cross, walked through the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. The performance act went under the name “Female Christ”. The social revolution and constant transgression of boundaries in the late 1960s meant that artists expressions took new directions. Some artists opposed dominant values ​​and behavior of society by using performance art: art that exists while in progress. However, this also means that significant voices and parts of art history from this time period risk to fade as they only exist as photographic or filmed records. By creating a fragrance with the same name, 19-69 ensures that the memory is immortalized”.

Female Christian Fragrance Journey - The Long Walk

"We went there in a taxi; I was naked underneath my black coat, and kept the cross against my stomach... I was amazingly nervous... But suddenly they were in full swing. David stood by the exit, filming, and Bjørn was walking with a tape recorder and with my clothes, and then I started walking. I remember a rope was suddenly blocking my way. I wasn't expecting that, so that was quite weird, but then I just kept walking with the cross, holding it up high at first and then downwards, the way you hold a yo-yo. Then it was over. And you could have heard a pin drop! and “Good heavens! Look, Sørensen, look!” Then we went out to the taxi waiting outside and drove away.”

19-69 Nineteen Sixtynine

Perfume cult brand 19-69 was founded by the Swedish artist and product developer Johan Bergelin. A twenty-four months long creative process with artisans in Scandinavia, France and Italy lead to the launch of 5 perfumes in 2017. Each scent is composed inspired by a different era, culture or setting from Africa, Europe, the States and Asia. Art, music, trends and cultures have all left their marks on the fragrances both in terms of content, name and packaging. All fragrances are suitable for any gender and allow the individual to explore beauty across the borders.
Johan Bergelin: “The name of the brand 19-69 is a very powerful statement. The year of 1969 represents an era of freedom, tolerance and counterculture. It is also the year I was born and my way of putting my heart on the sleeve and say - This is real. This is who I am.”

Ich liebe es

Einfach ein toller Duft. Etwas schwer daher würde ich sagen für mich eher etwas für Herbst und Winter. Er umhüllt einen und kuschelt ein und fühlt sich trotzdem sinnlich. Habe mich damit edel gefühlt. Etwas eigenwilliger Duft, aber ich mag das. Man riecht nicht so wie jedermann. Habe es als Probe mitgeliefert bekommen. Danke dafür. Es könnte etwas länger halten für den Preis.
