A whole new approach to perfume

A work of art - inside and out.
Olfactive storytelling meets objet d'art.
An embrace of human endeavour and a rejection of the commodification of scent and the endless automated duplication of creativity.

Every bottle unique. Every bottle precious.

Every essential element made by human hands: the juice, the cap, the box. Slow craft. Intentional. Human. Art.

Available now - online and in-store.

About Element Aroma Lab

Handcrafted in Aotearoa, Element Experimental Aroma Lab is the conceptual expression of perfumer and artist Emily van Oosterom.

Element ‘fumes are intentionally subversive, illustrating lived experiences, memory, politics, and exploring abstract ideas within the olfactive space.

The packaging brings in visual, tactile elements unique to each fragrance… the perfume expressed in tangible form. Each cap is hand painted by the perfumer with the intention of creating something unique and beautiful to treasure. A multi-sensory objet d’art - a rejection of the commodification and endless duplication within the perfume industry.
