This is the beginning of a series I’ve wanted to make for a very long time. Over the next few weeks, we’re going to explore the world of Chapel Factory, a fragrance house created by Anaïs Biguine that uses incense as a way into history, ritual, mythology, literature, and perfume. We’ll look at why humans have burned incense for thousands of years, the stories behind each fragrance in my collection, and why this little house in Paris left such a lasting impression on me. A huge thank you to Erwan (@piffevinaigre) for introducing me to Anaïs and arranging our meeting at @maisonjardinsdecrivainsreal , and to @anais_biguine herself for her incredible generosity, warmth, and for sharing so much of her time and inspiration with me. It was one of the highlights of my trip to Paris. This series was created in partnership with @scentsplit where I first came across Chapel Factory years ago, and where you can explore fragrances from Chapel Factory and Anaïs’ other houses for yourself. I hope you’ll come along for the journey. The next episode explores one simple question: why have human beings been burning incense for thousands of years? • #perfumecommunity #chapelfactory #maisonjardindecrivains #scentsplit #incenseperfume
