01 LE CADAVRE

Based on the book Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind, this project imagines the impossible perfume of a killer. In the novel, the protagonist murders young virgin women to extract their scent. I translated this narrative into a conceptual perfume kit, designing a bottle and pairing it with two selected excerpts: one depicting the murder, the other the distillation. Together, the bottle and book sit within a custom-designed box that frames the duality of beauty and violence.
