The Psychoanalysis
Of Fire

A philosophical meditation on fire as symbol and psyche

PHILOSOPHY


An olfactive translation of Gaston Bachelard's The Psychoanalysis of Fire (1938), exploring humanity's primal relationship with flame. This fragrance captures fire as both destruction and creation, knowledge and forbidden desire—from Prometheus stealing fire from the gods to purification rituals across cultures, smoke and ash and the heat that transforms.

summary: SMOKY, AROMATIC, WOODY.
MATERIALS: pink pepper, incense essential oil, leather, old paper, orris, chamomile, cistus labdanum, encens pyrogéné, musk, cedarwood, patchouli.


»The same flame that destroys also illuminates. Enter the fire — what remains after burning shines with newfound clarity.«
