“We are extremely excited about the launch of the new fragrance that honors our incredible 'Almond Blossom' in the most graceful way,” says Marijn Veraart, head, global licensing, Van Gogh Museum. “Every product in our joint range celebrates the love of nature and finding beauty in the everyday. Partners like Floral Street help us to develop innovative, sustainable means of inspiring people with Vincent’s work and life.”
