Step Aboard, the modern and creative fragrance brand, has recently introduced its latest olfactory adventure: the "Chicago" collection. This innovative series follows the acclaimed "Milano" and "London" collections, continuing Step Aboard's tradition of capturing the essence of world metropolises. Each collection reflects a unique fusion of high perfumery traditions and modern, urban aesthetics, akin to a sensory subway ride through the world's most iconic cities.

Chicago: A City Immersed in Art

The "Chicago" collection pays homage to the city's rich artistic heritage. Celebrated as a vast open-air museum, Chicago is a nexus of public art and cultural vibrancy. This collection is Step Aboard's olfactory interpretation of the city's artistic soul, transforming the essence of Chicago's art scene into exquisite fragrances.

Inspired by Alexander Calder's "FLAMINGO" sculpture, "Red Flamingo" is a vibrant blend of mandarin and Taif rose, accented with a hint of saffron. This fragrance, crafted by Arthur Marrast, encapsulates the sculpture's dynamic form and vivid color, offering a unique sensory experience.

2. Black and White
