ABOUT MANUEL MATHIEU
Manuel Mathieu is an artist deeply rooted in his personal and collective history. His artistic practice ranges from abstract painting to cinema and now perfumery. With his fragrances, he offers a sensory extension of his work, where memory, form, emotion, and storytelling come together.
He collaborated on his inaugural collection with VP perfumer at IFF in Paris Juliette Karagueuzoglou, who boasts a rich history of partnerships with renowned brands like Yves Saint Laurent, Salvatore Ferragamo and Giorgio Armani. Both were united by a shared ethos: revealing their inner selves to share personal stories that impact others.

THE BOTTLE DESIGN
Manuel Mathieu realized the design of the bottle was just as important as the scent within. Mathieu creates ceramics in his art practice, and began to conceptualize the bottle in his ceramic studio. To him, shaping clay is molding the earth, physically and spiritually. Through his process, he searched for something that felt familiar, with tension and moments of disruption.
The chosen design stands on its own as a sculpture, a shape similar to a mountain. Haiti, Manuel Mathieu’s homeland, means “land of high mountains” in the indigenous Taíno language. The bottle pays homage to the land while creating its own mythical mountain, reflecting Mathieu’s origin story, and the artist himself.
