The new edition of the exhibition [ SENS² - Photography & Perfumery ] takes the form of “CROSSED PERSPECTIVES between GRASSE & VERSAILLES.”
This unique dialogue immerses you in an unprecedented sensory universe combining contemporary photography and olfactory creation, where individual talents come together as a collective, and perspectives blend memories, sensations, encounters, and emotions.

For this edition, I interpreted the portrait of Kristin Scott Thomas taken by photographer Elias in perfume form.
