“A woman, a perfume” ©

The challenge of this series “a woman, a perfume” is to try to express, apart from the agreed and direct representations of perfume, by each woman, images, objects, attitudes, postures, looks that the perfume Prints in her mind, in her heart, in her dreams.

An approach to the intimate universe of each woman, olfactory and secret universe, whose every photographic series of portrait, tries to approach its mystery.

Three notes of perfume, for three notes of a portrait …

Without the combination of the three levels of notes, a perfume would simply not be aromatic, but together, they create magnificent fragrances … it is the same for each photographic series, each of the portraits complete the others and together express the unspeakable lightness of being.

“A look can be as violent as a perfume, it brings you so many years back, when everything is possible, when one is still actor of this world, when the dream is within reach.”

Nos gloires secrètes de Tonino Benacquista

“A woman without perfume is a woman without a future.”
