Nineteen Sixty Nine Kasbah and Nineteen Sixty Nine Invisible Post are the final two additions to the 19-69 x La Bottega collection designed for luxury 5-star hotels and resorts. However, this does not mean these two collections are “overshadowed”; on the contrary, they fully retain their unique signature and creative, unconventional spirit through the brand’s signature subtle and deep fragrances.
Nineteen Sixty Nine Kasbah
“Kasbah” is an Arabic word meaning a fortress or a sturdy citadel for the nobility, typically found in North African cities such as Marrakesh—the destination 19-69 chose for its journey of discovery in this collection.
If you’re a regular in the art world, especially in the realm of Western fashion, you’ve surely heard the name Marrakesh—a major city in Morocco. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was regarded as a mystical destination, embodying the vibrant yet soft hues of the East.
Drawing on that beauty, Marrakesh attracted countless artists and fashion designers, including globally renowned figures like Yves Saint Laurent. The city’s traditional caftans found their way into his haute couture collections, infusing the Western fashion palette of the time with a new spirit.
It was also during this period that Marrakesh experienced a cultural and artistic boom, ushering in the birth of the aristocratic bohemian style—a great source of inspiration for the world of haute couture. That bold and intense creative spirit, combined with the joyful party atmosphere of the artists of that time, inspired 19-69 to create the Kasbah collection with its warm notes, accented by subtle Eastern spices.
Fragrance Notes
+ Top Notes: Sweet orange, ripe lemon, white honey.
+ Middle Notes: Geranium, amber, patchouli.

The Kasbah collection is currently available in a full range of products, including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, and bar soap, in sizes of 30ml, 50ml, 380ml, and 500ml.
Nineteen Sixty Nine Invisible Post
While it also embodies the hippie spirit, unlike Purple Haze—which emphasizes the counterculture movement—Invisible Post focuses on the cross-country journeys of Western teenagers in the 1960s. In other words, Invisible Post aims to capture the spirit of personal freedom, a love for experiencing new cultures, and a passion for music, art, and community that hippie teenagers pursued.
This is also partly conveyed through the very name “Invisible Post” chosen by 19-69. Just like an “invisible post office,” that hippie community connected through word-of-mouth messages, spontaneous encounters, and unplanned journeys—invisible yet always present alongside one another. That spirit is vividly captured through the joyful, vibrant energy brought by lemon and green fig, interwoven with the warm, woody notes of cedarwood and the fresh, grassy undertones of black currant. Together, they evoke memories of sun-drenched days spent walking side by side, leading into evenings gathered around a campfire.
Fragrance Notes
+ Top Notes: Petigrain, green fig, tangerine.
+ Middle Notes: Palm leaf, black currant, cyclamen.
+ Base Notes: Sandalwood, Virginia cedarwood, and tonka bean.
The Invisible Post collection is currently available in a full range of products, including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, and bar soap, in sizes of 30ml, 50ml, 380ml, and 500ml.
