183. AGUSTINE ZEGERS (AGAR OLFACTORY) ~ Perfuming the Apocalypse, Unscented Perfumes, and Fragrant Time Portals.

agustine zegers, Chilean olfactive artist and creator of agar olfactory and speculative scent lab, directs experimental scent spaces focused on expanding our sensorial tools to navigate a planet in transition.

With perfumes that boast notes like hot fax machine, Mac carcass, mushroom gills, and yeasting dough, their work begs the bigger question: what is perfume and what are its functions?
