Olfactive Studio - Collection Sepia - Violet Shot
Elegant and woody, violet shows off all of its facets in Violet Shot. The fresh scent of cut grass meets the sparkling notes of mandarin and rose. Violet leaf reveals its true self, accompanied by the leathery notes of safraleine. Indonesian patchouli gives texture to the rich scent of vanilla bean and labdanum as they reveal their sensual facets.
Collection Sepia
Sepia, Olfactive Studio’s new collection is born.
The fragrance is an inaugural trilogy of Extrait de Parfum created in collaboration with Bertrand Duchaufour - the perfumer behind Woody Mood -, and English-born environmental artist, sculptor and photographer, Martin Hill, author of the photographs that inspired each Extrait de Parfum.
At first glance, the bottle is what distinguished this budding collection. While it still boasts the Studio’s distinctive line and sculpted wave, it is wrapped in a leather sheath that dons a sienna earth color. The cap is in a copper-toned ocher color like the metal plate mounted below the neck. The color scheme is reminiscent of the sepia tones from ancient photographs that we cherish like memories. The leather, a noble, soft and warm material, is the first hint as to the spirit of the composition: precious, elegant,
and revealing an exclusive material whose concentration and treatment place it in the class of “Haute Parfumerie”.
In the Sepia collection, each Extrait de Parfum – Vanilla Shot, Leather Shot, and Chypre Shot, starts with a note or an accord of raw material, showcasing Vanilla, Leather and a Chypre accord, respectively. The shot is at once sensory and photographic; a single powerful shot taken at the perfect moment. His three Extrait de Parfum are designed like powerful and striking apparitions and the associated photographs help to extend this feel of gracefulness.
