For and founder , our team created a still life series that brings skincare to life. We played with light and texture to capture the formula’s weight, motion, and glow—turning simple ingredients into a sensory experience. Cream spills, serum floats, glass reflects — each moment captured to reveal the beauty behind the science.

Everything was shot in our Residency Studio — the ideal setting to craft every detail.

Meet our new work for Eternity, captured through the lens of director Nadia Bedj .⁠

Three intimate portraits, three distinct connections to scent. In this series, our heroes share why Eternity speaks to them — not just as a fragrance, but as a feeling.

Shot on set with a textured, minimal design, the films mirror the quiet intensity of the scent and the stories behind it.🌿

As wrapped up this year, we’re reflecting on last spring—when our founder and executive producer Gaetan Rousseau walked the Croisette, immersed in the rhythm, inspiration, and chaos of the world’s most cinematic week.

“Being at Cannes reminded me why we chase stories that move people. The conversations, the films, the chance encounters. It’s all part of the magic.”

See you next year with something special.🎞️

Two presences, one light source, and a formulation born from science and skin.✨

Inside , we built a quiet world for — guided by founder ’s vision for simplicity, clarity, and care. What unfolded was a study in touch, texture, and intimacy, captured with precision and softness.

Thanks to this brilliant team who made the alchemy happen.
