Olfactive Studio is an encounter between contemporary artistic photography and perfumery; between the eye and the nose. Olfactive Studio is at the crossroads of a photographic studio and a perfume design studio. This is the first time ever that perfumers have teamed up with photographers to draw inspiration from their oeuvres. They sense the images to capture their essence. Photography and perfume capture the moment and rekindle the memory of past experiences. Imagining a sensorial, intimate, and poetic relationship between images and scents is to reconcile temporal spaces. “Perfumer’s proofs” are born out of the perfume creator’s emotions invoked by the picture and have proved to be authentic and original olfactory concepts. They take us from a world where perfumes are harvested to one where time is captured. Together, talented perfumers and photographer have created Autoportrait, Chambre Noire, Still Life, Lumière Blanche (2012), and Flashback (2013). Elegant and unconventional modernity emanates from this wonderful alchemy. Olfactive Studio designs an exceptional olfactory world with a powerful and distinctive personality; a world of intuitions and emotions; a world designed for women, men, and all others. The perfumes are angels; they have no gender, but they have a soul. An olfactive and collective studio is born. Inside it, just like children, we are free to sniff images in motion. Olfactive Studio was launched in Paris in September 2011. Today, it is enjoying great success in over 25 countries in Europe and the Middle East, in Brazil, South Africa, and Australia. |
