"Leather and Tobacco"

In a hotel of Havana, under the fixed sun of the Revolution: the fierce and partisan overtones of leather and tobacco meddle with the paneling's waxen silence. 

In the cool dimness, fawn grimaces shimmer along with the smoke of cigars and the barrels of guns.

For Piero Fornasetti, a single idea provided enough inspiration to create infinite variations. in fact, much of his work involved constant evolutions of specific themes. By allowing his imagination to roam freely Fornasetti was able to constantly reinvent or reinterpret any given image.

The most famous of these, the image that inspired Fornasetti to coin the title ‘tema e variazioni’, is the enigmatic face of a woman; the opera singer Lina Cavalieri. The archetypal classic female features and enigmatic expression of Lina Cavalieri became Fornasetti’s most frequently used template and upon which he based more than 350 variations.

'Otto' is the signature scent that was created by the master perfumer Olivier Polge, working in close collaboration with Barnaba. He captured the essence of Fornasetti by exploring the olfactory character of the family house and gardens, registering significant herbs and the woods of the interior. In the final scent, notes of thyme, lavender, orris and cedarwood evoke the personal environment, while ethereal incense notes at the base interpret the dream-like dimension of Fornasetti's graphic poetry.

• Top Notes: Thyme, lavender
• Middle Notes: Orris, cedarwood
• Base Notes: Tolu balsam, incense, birch, labdanum
• Perfumer: Olivier Polg

A result of experimentation with geometric forms in the Apparatus library, the censer connects ancient ritual with the tradition of coveted objects. Spun, cast and machined brass are assembled to creat a form that recalls a chalice.

The censer includes 50 sticks of Cinnamon Projects incense exclusively made for Apparatus Studio.  Dimension are 6"W x 10"H

Olim represents the vanity and emotion of a royal era. Powdery notes touch on beauty; spices evoke decadence and resins hint towards opulence. Olim refers to a form of purity with an underlying richness.

Olim (Latin for “once”) recalls the first four registers of the old Parliament of Paris, including the numerous texts and laws delivered to the King’s court between 1254 and 1318 under different reigns, particularly St. Louis (1214-1270). Olim shines light on the evolution of royal power and the decline of 13th-century French feudalism. “A spirit, a veil of elegance, and beauty…the scent is full of history. Better still, it has the power to reveal history. Cold notes, reinterpreted in a modern way leave a lasting impression in those around and purity on those who wear it.” - Lyn Harris.

• Notes: Lavender, bergamot, pink pepper, anise, patchouli, benzoin, myrrh, clove and musk
