Olfactive Studio: photography as the matrix of perfume
A Parisian house born of a visual intuition
Olfactive Studio is a Parisian house founded in 2011 by Céline Verleure, who came up with an original concept: creating perfumes from photographs. Each of the house's creations is born from an image that inspires a nose, in an editorial approach unique in fine perfumery. The house works with several great noses (Annick Ménardo, Dora Baghriche, Bertrand Duchaufour), each interpreting an image in their own style.
The Parisian house's signature scents
The Olfactive Studio pantheon brings together Selfie, Chambre Noire, Rose Shot, Leather Shot and Dancing Light, all signature creations of the house.
A photographic perfumery
Olfactive Studio cultivates a unique editorial approach: photography as the creative brief, resulting in fragrances that are both precise and free. The house divides its catalogue into several lines, including the Sepia collection, which offers more concentrated "shot" scents. Contemporary auteur perfumery, appealing to lovers of visual and olfactory storytelling.
Who should wear Olfactive Studio, and when?
Olfactive Studio is for lovers of sensitive olfactory storytelling seeking narrative, contemporary trails. The house is unisex. Its leathery, floral and smoky creations span every season. If you enjoy Olfactive Studio, you will also love exploring Memo Paris, Laboratorio Olfattivo and Naomi Goodsir, three other auteur signatures at Soleil d'Or.
