LIMITED EDITION • In special collaboration with the Kunstmuseum’s exhibition 'Ghosts' we have created a series of supernatural scents that ask the question "what do ghosts smell like"? Fantasmino is a mischievous vapor, both playful and innocent. Burnt sugars and smoke woven with violets and electricity. Very limited edition - only 50 of these made. Samples available. FRAGRANCE NOTES: Burnt sugar, Smoke, Galbanum, Petrichor, Supernatural Musks FRAGRANCE STORY A little ghost.A flicker.A laugh in an empty corridor. It appears where it shouldn't be, in the corner of your eye,in a scent that wasn’t there a moment ago. Fantasmino is playful, but not innocent.A mischievous haunting, laced with sweetness and shadow. The scent opens like a vanished memory:burnt sugar, warm and golden,hovering at the edge of caramel and smoke.Then come the violets, crushed and candied,fresh from a bouquet no one remembers picking. The air shivers with lightness and static.Something is circling.A presence just behind your breath. There's brightness, a touch of joy, but it never settles.It moves. It hides. It vanishes.And when it goes, it leaves you wonderingif it was ever there at all. Fantasmino is lovely.It’s disturbing.And it doesn’t like to say goodbye. HOW TO WEAR A GHOST BEGIN IN STILLNESS:Ghosts don't respond to command. They arrive when the body is quiet and the breath is deep. CHOOSE WITH INSTINCT:Each perfume is a presence. Some gentle, some strange, some bold. Let the one that calls to you reveal itself. APPLY TO THE PLACES WHERE YOU FEEL MOST HUMAN:Pulse points. Throat. Chest. Fabric worn close. THESE ARE LIVING MATERIALS; THEY WILL WARM, BREATHE, AND CHANGE:Let it evolve. Natural essences bloom differently than synthetics. They open slowly, move unpredictably, and fade like a memory: beautifully and with mystery. EXPECT PRESENCE, NOT PERMANENCE:These scents are apparitions. They do not cling, they haunt. You may forget they're there until a breeze stirs something. ABOUT THE GHOSTS COLLABORATION Scent is our most ancient and primal sense, capable of conjuring memory, emotion, and atmosphere more vividly than sight or sound. What might a ghost smell like? Not as metaphor or illusion, but as experience.  Apparitions do not walk, they drift. They do not speak, but they are felt. So too is scent. It moves like breath through an empty room. It clings to silence. It alters the air. Invisible, but undeniable. Ephemeral, yet unforgettable. "Could I distill the moment when the air grows dense, when breath stills and you feel something just out of reach? Could I bottle the tremble of a presence, the scent of the unseen? In approaching this work, I imagined scent as ectoplasm— ephemeral, shifting, impossible to hold. I worked with materials that speak in whispers: incense resins that curl like spectral tendrils, antique musks that evoke the past living within the present, and ghostly botanicals, vetiver roots, iris absolute, and fragments of smoky myrrh, that fade and return like a half-remembered dream. The process was not formulation. It was communion. I wanted these scents to haunt. To stir the marrow, to blur the boundaries between the living and the departed. to make the skin prickle, not from fear, but from that strange and holy sense of being watched, or perhaps, accompanied. This is not a perfume in the traditional sense. It is a ritual. A doorway. An offering to the unknown. I invite you to inhale slowly, eyes half-closed, and let your body become the vessel. Who knows what, or who, might answer back?" -DL WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
