Studio Scent

Kismet

Studio Scent celebrates the mess that makes us us: used books and vintage records piled up around the room; a cup of steeped black tea next to last night’s glass of wine; dusty tchotchkes on the oaken spice shelf; mary jane; palo santo smoke hovering over a vase of wilting lavender; allure coming from the bedroom; two soft figs in a bowl of oranges.

A sensual chypre, Studio Scent is structured around rich Turkish fig while blending bergamot with black tea notes, lavender with amberwood, and palo santo with oak moss. Warm and moody, this is an evocative home fragrance inviting bohemian spirits to the space in which we live and work.

Nympheas

Kismet

Nymphéas (Water Lilies) is a series of roughly 250 oil paintings by French Impressionist Claude Monet, depicting the artist’s renowned garden ponds at his home in Giverny. Painted over the last thirty years of Monet’s life—as his vision progressively blurred due to cataracts—‘Water Lilies’ is an extended study on the interplay of light, color, and reflection on water, testifying to nature’s constant transformation and ephemerality.

Inspired by Monet’s great cycle, Nymphéas (Water Lilies) is a floral fragrance exploring ambiguity, impermanence, and blurred perception. Solar water lily notes hover over lily of the valley, jasmine, and aquatic pond water which, in turn, mingle with earthy scents of vetiver, oak moss, and maté. Embracing olfaction’s ever-shifting subtleties, Nymphéas (Water Lilies) evokes the uncanny experience of familiarity with the unfamiliar—it’s like being in love.

“These landscapes of water and reflection have become an obsession for me. It is beyond my strength as an old man, and yet I want to render what I feel.” - Claude Monet

Nostalgia

Kismet

Nostalgia is a love song to the French-Alps village of Grasse, where Kismet-founder Shabnam Tavakol studied perfumery. Structured on poetry’s 14-line sonnet form, the fragrance is composed of 14 raw materials.

Nostalgia’s first stanza is based on seductive suede, saffron, and leather accords, evoking Grasse’s roots as an epicenter of tanning in the Middle Ages. Heart notes include Rose de mai and nagarmotha as a nod to Grasse’s rise as the world’s perfume capital in the 18th century—home to hillside flower fields that meet the Mediterranean Sea. At its volta, Nostalgia turns upwards towards anisic top notes inspired by Pastis—the complex, herbal aperitif with which Shabnam developed an intimate relationship during after-school hours at Grasse’s sole watering hole, Le Crystal.

At once leathery, musky, floral, herbal, smoky, and spicy, Nostalgia is a unisex scent intoxicating to men, women, and everyone in between.

Embrace your solitude and love it. Endure the pain it causes, and try to sing out with it. For those near to you are distant.
—Rainer Maria Rilke

Hexensalbe

Stora Skuggan

“In rifleing the closet of the ladie, they found a pipe of oyntement, wherewith she greased a staffe, upon which she ambled and galloped through thick and thin, when and in what manner she listed”
– Proceedings Against Dame Alice Kyteler, Prosecuted for Sorcery, 1324

Hexensalbe, also known as witches’ flying ointment, was a hallucinogenic salve used in witchcraft in the middle ages. It was a mixture of extremely poisonous ingredients.

The drug produced an ecstatic trance with powerful sensations of flying, images of otherworldly creatures and a primal sexual hunger. These hallucinations are at the core of the mythology of witches, where they fly to the sabbath at Blåkulla or Brocken to do it with the devil and other witches in unholy rites.

So, the image of witches flying can be traced back to the use of hexensalbe, but why on a broomstick? The ointment was so poisonous that eating it would be directly fatal, instead it was applied to other soft membranes of the body, armpits and more commonly the genitals. Because of the erotic effects of the high, the salve would often be rubbed directly onto a phallic object like the end of a staff or a broomstick. And so, the witch did not ride the broomstick like we picture her today. She actually -really- rode it.

Given which aspects of the story of hexensalbe has survived into the modern image of witches, and what has been suppressed, it would seem that the one thing more terrifying than witches or devils, is female sexuality.

Hima Jomo

When Nature Meets Craftsmanship: The rugged mountains of Kashmir offer a breathtaking landscape and crisp air where the majestic Cashmere goats roam freely, grazing on sparse vegetation that clings to rocky terrain. The goats shed their winter coats in the spring season while being harvested with utmost care. The scent of pashmina is soft and sensual, evoking an alluring aroma of cashmere, musk, and body warmth. It reminisces of the gentle care that artisans take during the harvesting of the cloudy-soft cashmere and the weaving of the exquisite pashmina, connecting time-honoured traditions to the smell of mother earth.

The subtle scent of pashmina envelopes in a gentle embrace, reminiscent of the snow mountains and nights by the fire, entwined like a nomad’s fond memory.

Villa Nellcote

19-69

"Villa Nellcôte is a 16-room mansion of the Belle Epoque, previously occupied and used as headquarters by the local Gestapo during the Nazi occupation of France. In the spring of 1971, new rebellious tenants and their colorful entourage hosted the property for six months. The barefoot hippies, the beautiful settings and the dark past were a perfect match resulting in a rock album that to this day inspires people across borders and nations. The fragrance is the embodiment of the magnificent garden and beautiful surroundings of the estate.”

An aromatic, floral and refreshing scent.
