Artistic Fragrances: A Guide to the Best Scented Creations
The realm of artistic fragrance is undergoing transformation as both established and emerging brands craft scents that double as design pieces. Founded in 2019 by Jun Lim, BORNTOSTANDOUT collaborates with Korean artists to create fragrances and design objects, with packaging inspired by Korean royal heritage. Coquet & Vaudou, a venture by Alexx and Anton alongside Will Inrig, features scents housed in artisanal ceramic bottles. Stora Skuggan, a niche brand from Stockholm, draws inspiration from history and pop culture for its artistic creations. Founded by Andrea Casotti and Cristina Mercaldo, Thoo offers fragrances that evoke nostalgia. Linari’s diffuser embodies forest aromas with hints of watermelon and jasmine, while PURO by SCARINGI, created by Alessia Caliendo, emphasizes elegant minimalism. Laboratorio Olfattivo presents a fig scent that blends green leaves with fruit, and La Vie En Fleurs by Bienaimé features a candle in a handcrafted porcelain vessel.
