From October 2018 - March 2019, UFO Parfums collaborated with artists to produce perfumes exhibited at Château d'Eau, New Haven.
"Snake Oil," 2018. Developed with Ariana Reines. Edition of 60.
The most beautiful sweat in the world.
A snake in the grass
a rum libation poured out on wet dirt
what gouging your initials into tree bark exudes
sweating a little
an old leather jacket
it is relaxing to wipe down a wooden table
it is exciting to open a treasure box.
"Rug Burn," 2019. Developed with Bri Williams. Edition of 30.
The smell of a wasp's stinger,
the kiss of death in the morning,
muddy honey, a dirty football player and a grass skinned knee.
A humid July day in Louisiana,
the ugliest flower, every dog I've ever licked and self induced papercuts.
Bloody hand prints on jeans.
The sticky sweat that comes after you step out the shower.
"Suite," 2019. Devloped with Paul Kopkau. Edition of 30.
"You’ve been here before. Perhaps it was late at night on a long road trip, when you pulled into a motel to sleep. The rough carpet, the fading floral curtains, the taupe walls coloured like waxy soap, the scent of cigarettes and Lysol: it’s all so familiar, yet so impersonal." -Evan Moffitt
