Both scent and light are hidden aesthetic values that have a subtle but powerful effect on our lives. Light bends through prisms, scattering into color; scent unfolds in layers, top notes giving way to the heart and base notes. Light lingers through the shadows; a perfume lingers in the air long after someone has passed us on the street. A room touched by golden light or air alive with fragrance, becomes transformed into something more than itself: an atmosphere, a mood, a story.
Humanity’s fascination with capturing light has inspired art movements and scientific innovation. The quest for spices and scents has motivated exploration and war. Yet both light and scent are themselves ephemeral. They travel through space and need to touch us before we can feel their effects. Each shimmers between the tangible and the ethereal, defined only through experience. Their transience is what makes them so special.
REFRACTED Fragrances lives in this shared poetic space of light and scent. Each fragrance captures the awe of luminous phenomenas of light into olfactory form.
We can't wait for these fragrances to illuminate you!
REFRACTED Fragrances values:
A Passion for Light & Scent
REFRACTED's journey began at the intersection of art, light, and perfumery— three disciplines that share a common language of perception and emotion. This unique perspective shapes every aspect of REFRACTED.
Radical Transparency
REFRACTED sheds light on the fragrances you enjoy and we believe you deserve to know what you're wearing. Upon launching, detailed information about what is in each fragrance, including aroma chemicals, will be available on the website with information about all ingredients and why they are used. We hope this openness helps customers learn more about scent and build trust with our community.
