    The brief

    Nadia Belkacem, trained at Grasse, writes a single sentence and the house builds fourteen months around it. Three noses, all trained at ISIPCA in Versailles, take it from there.

  2. Month 09 · Grasse

    The harvest

    Jasmine absolue picked at 4am, oud resins aged forty years at the least. Eleven suppliers across six countries. Nothing synthetic, nothing reconstructed.

  3. Month 14 · The atelier

    The test

does it change the room when you enter it?
