Pigmentarium’s perfumes are crafted from precious raw materials and natural ingredients. Each of them is inspired by a different chapter of the history of the Czech Republic and is strongly influenced by today’s world, seen through the eyes of our young generation. Each scent is also being swayed by deep emotions or sudden feelings of a human being, which is an essential part of the process of creating art.

The period between the 1920s and 1930s was a period of the rich culture in Czech countries. Architecture, photography, and movies were booming. The country was swarmed by mystery and avant-garde. And in between, there was the forbidden. The forbidden, which had to stay hidden. And you know what they say, what remains hidden, unites all scents. All the forbidden from this era became one of the main inspirations for the Erotikon perfume.

Erotikon is a gourmand perfume based on chocolate, ginger, and amber. In 1929, the movie director Gustav Machaty made a shocking movie, holding the same name. The muse in the movie Erotikon was able to seduce everyone, just by applying a single splash of perfume on her neck. The intention of Jakub Hiermann was to create a perfume that is highly seducing. He wanted to produce a scent that will be used as an aphrodisiac. The campaign of Erotikon, shot by Hana Knížová displays a naked body of a sensual woman sitting on a historical piece of a sofa designed by Josef Gočár in a cubist style.

The woman on that sofa knows her strength, screaming from the beauty of her own silhouette. She knows she will shock the world by voluntarily uncovering her breast and she knows that everyone, just by looking at that picture, will be hungry for the scent of her skin. “When the Erotikon campaign was banned on all the social media platforms, we printed it out on paper and one night, we went out and installed them all around the city,” Tomas confesses.

If Erotikon is here to seduce, Murmur doesn’t need to seduce anymore. The scent is so animalistic, that there is much more to it than just a seduction of the unknown. A piece of inspiration for Murmur was taken from that one sentence that Napoleon once wrote to Josephine before coming back to her after a long time gone. “Don’t wash, I’m coming home.” He wanted to taste the pure, raw odor of her body, to get right under the skin. Thanks to the composition of Murmur, where the top notes fall straight through the middle and directly into the base notes, it resembles the scent of a hair, straight through the scent of a heated body, directly to the pure and raw odor of a person you love.

Even the name “Murmur” as a “whisper” takes us right to that very intimate distance with that one human being, who now controls our entire body and mind.

Paradiso wants no drama. It’s summertime and we want to play. A splash of Paradiso brings us to the pool in the background of a modernist villa. The fresh, yet rebellious taste of grapefruit, juniper, vetiver, and patchouli embodies a moment of happiness. Sipping a gin-based cocktail, letting the sunlight draw new color lines on your body, and forgetting all the responsibilities of the real world. Just for that one moment. Alone or with a stranger. What happens in summer, stays in summer.
