POLO PLAYER AND MODEL NACHO FIGUERAS LAUNCHES FRAGRANCE LINE
Argentinian polo player, advocate, charity ambassador, and model Nacho Figueras has launched his first luxury fragrance line, The Ignacio Figueras Collection, exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman.
The collection, which will expand to additional stores internationally in 2020, is influenced by the lifestyle, emotions, and colors of six international polo tournament destinations — Buenos Aires, Palm Beach, Aspen, Windsor, Jaipur, and Dubai. The luxury fragrance line was developed in collaboration with International Flavors & Fragrances, including work from master perfumer Carlos Benaim, whose creations include fragrances for Frederic Malle, Calvin Klein, Givenchy, and Prada.
Figueras crafted the collection so each scent has notes and design cues that portray the stories connected to these grand locations, such as the southern nights in Palm Beach, fiery evenings in Aspen, and the stillness of dawn in Jaipur.
The Ignacio Figueras Collection supports the charity Sentebale, of which Figueras is an ambassador, with a portion of the sales donated to the organization. Sentebale supports the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people affected by HIV in Lesotho and Botswana.
“When we began to work on this collection, I knew we wanted this to be a culmination of all my experiences, bringing the feelings and scents from every kind of paradise to people across the globe, so they can indulge in the same sense of luxury wherever they are,” said Figueras. “The locations that inspired this collection evoke sentimental memories of time spent there with my wife Delfina and our children. I’m looking forward to sharing these fragrances with the world, which allow me to bring my love for my family, polo, fashion, and design together with my dedication to philanthropy.”
Born in Argentina, Figueras is one of the top 100 polo players in the world and is captain of the US BlackWatch Polo Team. He is also a longtime model and is considered one of the most photographed men in the world. Figueras resides in Argentina with his wife Delfina and four children.
