Earlier this year, French niche line Anatole Lebreton launched Artefacts, a new trio of fragrances: Armonia, Kairos and Uruk.
For this new collection, I wanted to explore the mechanisms at work in the creative act by drawing inspiration from emblematic episodes of human history. From these olfactory excavations into foreign perspectives and distant points of view, these Artifacts were born.
Armonia ~ Iris and leather. “ARTEFACT: Florence, during the Italian Renaissance: the theory of right measure and perfect proportion. OLFACTORY ATMOSPHERE: Iris, leather and soft wood.”
Kairos ~ Gourmand vanilla. “ARTEFACT: In ancient Greece, Kairos was the definition of the opportune moment, of instantaneous, prophetic intuition. OLFACTORY ATMOSPHERE: Bitter almond, Orange Blossom, Vanilla.”
Uruk ~ Dark resin. “ARTEFACT : The emergence of writing in Mesopotamia 5000 years ago, in the city-state of Uruk. OLFACTORY ATMOSPHERE: Cistus Labdanum, nutmeg and incense.”
Anatole Lebreton Armonia, Kairos and Uruk are available now at Anatole Lebreton in France, in 30 ml Parfum, €130 each.
