The foot of the artist Adel Abdessemed leaves his footed mark on the senses. The sculpture in white plaster and ceramic is scented by Paul Guerlain, a master of scents inspired by a master of contemporary art. The French perfumer mixed oriental rose, ginger and pink berries to develop this subtle fragrance. The artistic duo plays on the paradox of attraction and the forbidden: “Noli me Tangere”, the words of Jesus to Mary Magdalene. “Do not touch me, I am untouchable!”. The parable turns into an artistic analogy!
Diane Thalheimer, a well-known perfumer, set herself apart in the early 2000s by inventing her new profession: Olfactive Profiler. Looking for something that made sense, she started to work on understanding and decoding the vision of a brand or of a personality and translating those traits into original scents. Whilst collaborating with many leading companies, in 2021, Diane launched Profile By, a personal project bringing together artists and perfumers on a special collaboration about olfactive sculptures. The first collection comprises 6 pieces: perfume becomes the extension of an artwork. Or is it the artwork that becomes a visual and olfactory experience?
