LILITH, sombre héroïne

Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) 月下香 in Japanese means that the flower smells under the moon. THE PERFUMER PIERRE BENARD SEGU "These precious materials inspire me and I structure them with more linear, synthetic molecules to create a shape, a volume, a fragrance that I display on the skin or in the air". Pierre Bénard Ségu, the perfumer and concept designer, is a Member of the International Society of Perfumers Creators. An expert in natural raw materials for perfumery, he is also the olfactory artistic director of OSMOART, perfumes, colours and sounds (www.osmoart.com) with whom he has been developing olfactory concepts for over 20 years. He is the olfactory artistic director of OSMOART, perfumes, colors and sounds with whom he develops new olfactory concepts. OSMOART, scents, colours and sounds OSMOART is a French niche fragrance company founded in 2003 by perfumer-creator and raw materials expert Pierre Bénard. Osmoart started out as an association with a passion for fragrance, colour and sound, and expresses the idea of interactive sensoriality. For twenty years, it has been an innovator of multi-sensory and synesthetic experiences centred on culture, creative expertise, education and olfactory research and development. Today, as a symbol, Pierre Bénard and Osmoart wish to celebrate their twentieth anniversary (a porcelain wedding) through their artistic vision of perfume. BRAND OZPARFUM "Perfume as a connection" Through the OZPARFUM brand, Pierre Bénard conveys the message and expression of his own ideal of independent, authentic, cultural and artistic perfumery. He does this by finding the right ingredients for a fragrance, just as he finds the right words. A poetic search like the Japanese symbolist poet Takuji Ōte (1887-1934), one of the pioneers in translating Charles Baudelaire's poems directly from French, could achieve. Excellence in accuracy where it's a question of exploring the synesthetic potential of scents. In this quest for aestheticism, Pierre Bénard creates scenarios for his fragrances. He composes fragrances, like characters, in which you are the hero and heroine.

You can find this photograph in scented postcard format in HALO 3_5 and 7. THE PERFUME LILITH, sombre héroïne "Tuberose is my emblem. I fell madly in love with it. For the perfumer in me, it represents all flowers. And for the man that I am, it represents all women." LILITH, sombre héroïne is Pierre Bénard Ségu's first personal creation for Ozparfum. It is shaped like a soliflore, a fragrance around a single flower; around a heart of tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa), the perfumer’s emblematic flower. Its headspace is an accord between cardamom, a cold spice, and an ice molecule, menthol. It expresses the temperature of an evening twilight and the coldness of a free woman, mistress of her life. Like a floral bouquet, this epicenter of tuberose is adorned with notes of roses, Indian jasmine, orange and exotic flowers. It evokes a morning twilight where exceptional flowers warm up and blossom at first light like a loving and amorous woman. Its suave and maternal wake is a balm to this heart. He is a milky way of sandalwood and benzoin tears, It is a starry veil of cosmic musks on amber skin. “Fragrant regards” : photographic project by Pierre Bénard Find this project in web image format in HALO 2 THE DOSE THE PERFECT DRUG "This is the perfect drug, and you want it." In Japan, it is not customary to spray perfume. The culture is more cosmetic. To present the spirit of this fragrance, we decided to contain a dose of this perfect drug in a breakable ampoule that can be inhaled. It comes with a roll-on so you can gently perfume your skin to experience the fragrance and exhale it. This dose is accompanied by a card on which you'll find the ingredients and the perfumer's words that make it up. Get it in HALO 4_5_6 and 8 and let it intoxicate you to the point of overdose. THE SUBJECT THE BLACK MAGIC "I examined her from every angle, stripped her naked...like a crime of passion, in which she is the criminal."

THE BOTTLE APOCALYPSE "Write down, then, what you have seen, what is, and what is to happen next." APOCALYPSE is the name that Pierre Bénard Ségu gave, in full knowledge of its true meaning, to the bottle he designed for the OZPARFUM brand. Etymologically, the word is the transcription of the ancient Greek term ἀποκάλυψις (apokálupsis) which is the action of discovering. Borrowed from Latin, the term means a laying bare, the removal of a veil: a revelation. Connected to cultures and beliefs, this bottle is inspired by Samā', a sacred gyratory dance of the whirling dervishes, listed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2008. Fragile, it is also a source of fascination, evoking the shape of a spinning top, a playful objet d'art that you only have to come across to arouse the irrepressible desire to grab hold of it... With a capacity of 125ml (4.3 fl.oz) , this design is made from Limoges porcelain and presented in a "Hana" flower box. The flower box contains 4 photographic arcanas to tell you about the perfume. In HALO 7_8_9 and 10, you'll find the bottle and its flower box. KNOW-HOW & BEING CULTURAL EXCEPTION "To be close to nature, to be at the source. The one that fills the most beautiful bottles and perfumes the plant and human souls that produce it. This is living, this is love." KNOW-HOW OZPARFUM is an inclusive French brand that seeks out the exceptionality of French know-how and expertise. The APOCALYPSE bottle is made by a company that benefits from the Limoges Porcelain Geographical Indication.

This designation officially recognises the quality of the region's plants and the traditional skills used to extract the essences of these exceptional flowers from the Grasse region. These few drops of this material are our dedication to our friends, the growers of these fragrant plants harvested and processed in this country, and this fragrance our contribution to supporting the growers of other countries. The porcelain manufacturer and the processor of natural raw materials have been awarded the "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant" (Living Heritage Company) label. KNOW-HOW Pierre Bénard Ségu has a wealth of olfactory culture and knowledge in various disciplines closely linked to olfaction, and enjoys passing on his passion for scents and fragrances. He is convinced that the art of olfactory creation must be imbued with an olfactory culture, and that olfactory education is the basis of this culture.

HAUTE COUTURE - HAUTE PARFUMERIE “It's hard to imagine how much care and worry goes into researching a new perfume, creating a bottle, or even simple packaging. These occupations are so absorbing that today I feel as much a perfumer as a fashion designer. » - Christian Dior
