the founder is a chemist who writes poems. for years the two lived side by side without touching. then they touched.
every fragrance in unspoken lines begins as a piece of writing. the formula comes after, as its translation.
each batch is blended by hand, and each bottle is sealed by the same pair of hands. if you find a small flaw, read it as a fingerprint.
the poem always comes first.every bottle in unspoken lines closes with a walnut cap from kenosis design, a workshop in giarmata, at the edge of timișoara.
the workshop was founded by andreas samuelsson, a swede who came to romania at twenty and stayed. most of the craftsmen are roma. they work with wood other workshops turn away: walnut with knots, boards with cracks running through them.
they do with wood what we try to do with words. they keep the piece that was declared unusable.
