Let us engage, alter, impress. Let us remember our tranquil origin, protect, glisten. Outcasts that never wanted to be incasts.
THE HOUSE
The south Stockholm 109 PARFUMS atelier hosts the house laboratory, where creations are imagined, developed, hand-crafted and bottled in minor batches.
The numeral combination of 109 PARFUMS exposes the graphical elements of the binary - the number one brings the line, the zero brings the circle and the nine interlinks them both. They represent the leitmotif of the laboratory: the deconstruction of principles and standards while connecting subcultures and minorities.
We do not believe in norms and codes. Nor do we believe rules should defy you, your universe or how you recall memories. We value artistic freedom before entertaining big business standards. This is why we call our craft Art-ifacts and not outdated definitions of what fragrance experiences can do or be called.
The house stays true to the discourse that young creatives see the world differently. This is the reason the house supports other young independent artists, producers, graphic designers, couturiers, photographers and poets. The lineup is accompanied by a fragrance-specific poem by one of the house poets Elis Burrau and Evyn Redar.
THE PERFUMER
Born in 1993, Patrick David is the house perfumer and visionary at the Beirut native, Stockholm based 109 PARFUMS. Fragrance and scents have curated his life chapters from an early childhood as the olfactory concept has been a perpetual appeal of his universe since birth.
Self-taught, he started experimenting with scents at the age of five. Church mass, Middle Eastern cuisine culture and the obscurity of industrial smells were among the first olfactory obsessions to grasp his mind.
A constant dreamer, he realized his fantasy of a universe where scents guide us needs to be a reality and the house of 109 PARFUMS was born on the significant day of October 9th (10-9) 2018.
LET THE CULTURAL CIRCLES REMAIN UNBROKEN
