About
Autoportrait by Olfactive Studio is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. Autoportrait was launched in 2011. The nose behind this fragrance is Nathalie Lorson. Top notes are elemi and Bergamot; middle notes are Benzoin, Incense and Musk; base notes are Virginia Cedar, Vetiver and oak moss. Celine Verleure is the creator of a new niche perfumery line. As someone with extensive experience in the perfume industry, Celine first launched a blog about the fragrances that still hadn’t been made, looking for inspiration and ideas from her readers. The Olfactive Studio line was born that way. Olfactive Studio is a blend of modern art photography and the world of perfumes, since both these medias capture a moment and its atmosphere. It is “an encounter between contemporary artistic photography and perfumery; between the eye and the nose…It is at the crossroads of a photographic studio and a perfume design studio”. The inspiration for the first three perfumes of the collection is topics of self-portrait, dark chamber and still life, transformed into fragrances Autoportrait, Chambre Noire and Still Life.Celine Verleure first conceived the names of the perfumes, then gave freedom to three different photographers to showcase their interpretation of the same, and then these images served as inspirations for the perfumers who created the compositions.Luc Lapotre’s photography inspired Nathalie Lorson for the creation of Autoportrait. Autoportrait is described as an intimate, warm and deep scent, a scent that you wear just for yourself. It is composed of woody notes, spices and balms.Top notes: bergamot and elemi. Heart: benzoin, incense and musk. Base: oak moss, cedar and vetiver. All three fragrances are available as 50 and 100 ml EDP.
