The fragrance was created as an olfactory interpretation of the installation Retro Lamps: Forgotten Stories of Czechoslovak Design.
The composition is inspired by the image of a lit lamp in an interior from decades past — warmed glass, metal, wood, textiles, and a fine layer of dust slowly awakened by the heat of the light. Dry woody and mineral notes blend with soft amber, a subtly smoky accord, and a trace of resin.
The result is a fragrance that does not literally recreate a specific perfume or era. Instead, it evokes the feeling of a familiar space, light, and objects that carry memories within them.
It is the scent of warmed light, material, and time.
