Prince: A Private View (2017)

This portrait of Prince in his dressing room was taken by Afshin Shahidi, his personal photographer. It is included in a book – Prince: A Private View – released in 2017, along with unpublished photos and stories about the long collaboration between the photographer and the artist.

Among the many products on the dressing table, we can see a bottle of Olay refreshing toner. It differs from the picture above, so I do believe it’s an earlier (or later) version of it.

Moving to the centre of the table, I can see a bottle of L’Oreal True Match liquid foundation.

The most interesting item sits on the back of the table, right in front of the mirror, and it’s Thierry Mugler Cologne, a citrus/white floral fragrance created by Alberto Morillas and launched in 2001. In case you were wondering what fragrance Prince wore, now you know.
