The niche perfumery market is saturated, and standing out is a challenge. Moreover, the line between selective and niche fragrances is becoming increasingly blurred. That’s why I wanted to create a brand with a bold stance, both conceptually and olfactorily, to break away from the norm. It’s a way to elevate the discussion and take a dreamy perspective on creativity.
Through this brand, I wanted to embody my vision of life - namely, cycles that repeat themselves from a human and organic perspective. Entropy is "a physical dimension that characterises the degree of disorganisation in a system." I therefore sought to emphasise the notion of imbalance, this movement, this tipping point that’s essential for life to evolve.

It’s the first weekend of spring — or fall, depending on where you are — at last. (And, the swapmeet is open through Tuesday. Coming soonish, the next damage poll, on 3 April, followed by the splitmeet on 26 April.)
Meanwhile, 4 questions. As always, answer as many or as few as you like, or just talk about something else.
1. What fragrance are you wearing today?
2. What’s blooming near you this week?
3. If you have a great idea for a Friday community project, do speak up!
4. Share something wonderful with us! It can be anything — something delicious you ate, anything fun you did recently, a great tv show you’re streaming — really, anything.
