Description
Aether Arts Touchstone Perfume Oil is an experimental scent of metal, mineral, earth and air combined. A modern talisman we all carry – the cell phone as perfume!
What is the one object that has become ubiquitous, that is always nearby if not on one’s actual person, an object that in some form crosses all gender, cultural and socioeconomic spaces? An object that possesses great power, that can bring us help, that can connect us to those we love, an object that if we forget it, causes no small anxiety: the cell phone. The cell phone has become the talisman of our modern age. A kind of metaphorical worry stone or touchstone if you will, we can’t keep our hands off it. It reassures us and connects us when we are lonely or afraid and could literally save your life in some situations.
So how to turn the idea of a cell phone into perfume? Cell phones require minerals from the earth in their manufacture and their signals travel invisibly through the aether, so earth and air have guided Aether Arts’ cellular-to-olfactive transformation. Many of the minerals used in cell phones are silvery-to-grey in colour – materials like tantalum, palladium and platinum. To fit the aesthetic tonality, Aether Arts Touchstone was created with a flinty-grey accord featuring flashes of colour running through it. A warmer mineralic aspect hints at other metals used in tech, such as silver, gold and copper.
A spacious ‘aether’ accord represents the air through which signals invisibly travel. Just as a quartz crystal in a cell phone vibrates at a fixed frequency, the bottle houses an actual piece of quartz crystal – reminding all users to be aware of their own vibrations. What signals are we sending out into the world? What is the fate that we create?
While perfume strength, Aether Arts Touchstone Perfume Oil is a contemplative and quiet scent that wears close to the body.
Aether Arts Touchstone Perfume Oil was a finalist at the 2018 Art and Olfaction Awards in the Artisanal Category..
