LE CINÉMA OLFACTIF

Minutes become moments, and frames become fragrance in the “Le Cinéma Olfactif” series. This is the first collection conceptualized and released under FOLIE à PLUSIEURS in 2014. Originally conceived as an olfactive cinema program in collaboration with the Soho House Group cinemas in Berlin, London, Chicago, and Los Angeles, Le Cinéma Olfactif is an ongoing series of fragrances that emerge from onsite olfactive film screenings of cult classic and independent art house films. The archive includes fragrances as diverse as Mood Indigo, Love Exposure, Daisies (Sedmikrásky), The Virgin Suicides, Blow Up, La Haine, The Lobster, The Duke of Burgundy, All About My Mother, Talk To Her, Liquid Sky, Funeral Parade of Roses, La Grande Bellezza, and Post Tenebras Lux.
