The fire within – 4 perfumes to spark your soul


Never underestimate the power of perfume! What may look — and smell — like a delightful triviality or a pleasant distraction has the potential to ignite a spark within your soul that can in no time turn into an all consuming wildfire. With direct access to our memories and emotions, those inconspicuous little olfactive molecules can activate long forgotten memories or safely stored passions and, depending on their nature, take you to heaven or hell. 

Photographer Lindsey Drennan and Stylist Alanna Davey created this series of still life stunners to prove that behind the innocent facade of a pleasant perfume bottle often lingers a more dangerous and unsettling reality with the power to change your life forever. Dare to enter this realm of untamed passion and face the fire within. Enjoy!
