CINEMA

An olfactive response to The Duke of Burgundy (2014), Peter Strickland's baroque study of desire, dominance, and the rituals of intimacy. This fragrance translates a specific moment, where two women enact elaborate erotic choreography in a world of lepidoptery and longing. Part of FOLIE's Le Cinéma Olfactif—scent as duration, extending moments that would otherwise pass unnoticed.

summary: SOFT, MUSKY, WOODY.
MATERIALS: peach, davana, angelica, green notes, freesia, skin, leather, osmanthus, jasmine, musk, varnish accord, animal notes, amber, sandalwood, heliotrope, virginia cedar.

»Soft panties spanked by the wind. Waxed floors, leather boots polished to shine. Pleasurable punishments rehearsed until routine becomes ritual. The games love plays — the tender labor of desire.«

Series Statement

Minutes become moments. Frames become fragrance.

Le Cinéma Olfactif is not smell-o-vision. It is attention made aromatic. The scent tells you what to feel, what you might have missed.

Evocative, not illustrative. Fear rather than smoke. Absence rather than presence.

Not the explosion. Not the kiss.

Something quieter. Something true.

Launched in Berlin, 2014. Still going.
