02 / The story
1line

The brief was a single sentence, written on the back of a train ticket. What would quicksilver smell like if it were gentle?

312trials

Four winters and three hundred and twelve trials. Most were too cold. A few were too kind. One was both at once, and that was the one we kept.

Cold as a coin.Warm as a hand.

24hours

On skin it keeps moving. Bright at eight in the morning, soft by noon, close to a secret by midnight.

03 / The vessel

Glass, silveredfrom within.

Each bottle is blown by hand, then mirrored on the inside so the perfume seems to float in metal. The stopper is one polished steel sphere. It closes with a quiet click.
