The third fragrance from Arpa Studios, Fosforo, meaning "phosphorus" in Italian, evokes the discovery of the wonders offered by the earth. Immersed in the onsen thermal waters of Kyushu, Japan, marsh iris blends with sage to give the wearer a feeling of freshness, immediately enhanced by the power of cedar wood and birch gradually evaporating in the mists of hot steam. The effervescence of these traditional baths is brought here by the spicy notes of cumin, and cinnamon with smoky accents. This perfume inspired the composer Joseph Schiano di Lombo in the writing of the melodies "Ce que la sylve révèle de l’astre jeune" and "De l’astre sage" (Part 1 and 2).
Barnabé Fillion, a self-taught French perfumer who learned from talented noses such as Christine Nagel or Victoire Gobin-Daudé, decided to found Arpa Studios in 2020, which takes its name from "arpa", the name of the precious musical instrument: the harp. A collection where synesthesia is in the spotlight: each creation associates an aroma with a landscape, a translucent color evoking a geographical memory, an auditory memory, or a material. The fragrances have inspired the composers Cyrus Bayandor, Erwan Sene and Joseph Schiano di Lombo for their melodies, conceived like frequencies.
