Identity and Creation History

Imagine a fragrance that is like a frame from an arthouse film — captivating, multifaceted, and full of meaning. That's exactly what Close Up by Olfactive Studio, released in 2016, is.

This unisex perfume became a vivid example of how two worlds — photography and perfumery — merge into one, creating something truly unique.

The brand, founded in 2011, is conceived as a bridge between arts, where each fragrance is inspired by visual images, and Close Up is no exception — it offers a close, intimate view of emotions through scents.

When you first spray Close Up, you're greeted with a bold start: juicy cherry in tandem with bitter coffee and warm spices.

This accord reminds one of a morning in a cozy café, where every sip invigorates and inspires.

The fragrance quickly unfolds, demonstrating its dynamic character, which perfectly reflects the philosophy of Olfactive Studio — art in motion.

For Whom and When: Positioning and Wearability

As a unisex fragrance, Close Up is suitable for everyone who appreciates complex, emotional compositions.

Its medium sillage makes it versatile for daily wear — it's not intrusive, but expressive enough to leave a trace in the memory of those around.

This perfume performs excellently in cool seasons, autumn and winter, when its woody and spicy notes sound especially harmonious.

Wear it on dates, creative meetings, or simply for yourself to add a drop of inspiration to the day.

At Olfactive Studio, they believe that fragrance should be a personal experience, and Close Up is a perfect example of that.

It belongs to the aromatic and woody families, which emphasizes its balance between freshness and depth.

If you're looking for something similar, pay attention to Attar Collection Khaltat Night with its oriental accents, Hermès Ambre Narguile for lovers of gourmand notes, or Victoria's Secret Cherry Pop — a lighter and more playful alternative.

Masters Behind the Bottle: Perfumers and Their Contribution

Behind the creation of Close Up are two outstanding talents: Annick Menardo and Céline Verleure. Their collaboration brought a unique synthesis of experience and innovation to the fragrance.

Menardo, known for her bold compositions for major houses, added depth and structure, while Verleure, co-founder of Olfactive Studio, provided the artistic vision linking the fragrance to photographic concepts.

Together, they created a perfume that doesn't just smell, but tells a story — a story of closeness, creativity, and emotions.

This release strengthened the reputation of Olfactive Studio as an innovator in the industry, demonstrating how perfumery can go beyond the ordinary and become a form of art.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The fragrance pyramid of Close Up is a true journey through layers of emotions, starting with a bright explosion of cherry, coffee and spices, which create an intriguing and invigorating start.

At the heart of the composition, noble Atlas cedar and delicate fragrant tobacco unfold, complemented by earthy patchouli and romantic rose, adding complexity and warmth.

At the base, the fragrance gains longevity thanks to warm amber, sweetish tonka beans and sensual musk, which leave behind a gentle, enveloping trail.

This composition masterfully balances between fruity juiciness, woody coolness, and spicy depth, making each stage of development unique and memorable.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth

The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance.
