THE SERIES
From the lens of a perfumer, Silhouettes explores the olfactive nature of an artist’s work—whether painting, sculpture, photo, film, music, or performance. Here perfumers, in a series of interviews, essays, art reviews, and artist profiles, translate the world of art into scent.
THE MUSIC
“Amore” appears on Ryuichi Sakamoto’s eighth solo studio album “Beauty” (1989), released on Virgin Records. The composition embodies Sakamoto’s signature blend of emotional resonance and minimalist beauty.
Ryuichi Sakamoto is an internationally-renowned Japanese music composer, record producer, pianist, activist, and writer. Over the last four decades, he has worked on numerous collaborative, solo and film albums, winning numerous awards for his contributions to the world music industry. He began his career whilst a university student as a session musician, producer, and arranger in the 1970s, first gaining major success in 1978 as one third of the electronic music group Yellow Magic Orchestra – YMO which played a pioneering role in the development of the synthpop, techno and house genres. He concurrently pursued a solo career, releasing the experimental electronic fusion album Thousand Knives in 1978, and later released the pioneering album B-2 Unit in1980, from which “Riot in Lagos” influenced the development of electro and hip hop music. He went on to produce more solo records, collaborate with many international artists such as David Sylvian, Carsten Nicolai, Youssou N’Dour, and Fennesz, and pursue a wide variety of projects, in different genres ranging from electronic to classical and world music. Sakamoto composed music for the opening ceremony of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, and his composition “Energy Flow” in 1999 was the first instrumental number-one single in Japan’s Oricon charts history.
As a film composer, he has won an Academy Award, BAFTA, Grammy, and two Golden Globe Awards, and has received three BAFTA nominations and four Golden Globe nominations. David Sylvian’s Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence -1983 marked his debut as a film score composer for which he composed the soundtrack, title theme and the duet “Forbidden Colours”. Sakamoto later composed Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Last Emperor -1987. Other films scored by Sakamoto include The Sheltering Sky -1990, Pedro Almodóvar’s Tacones lejanos ‘High Heels’ -1991, Bertolucci’s The Little Buddha -1993, Oliver Stone’s Wild Palms -1993, John Maybury’s Love Is the Devil: Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon -1998, Brian De Palma’s Snake Eyes -1998, Femme Fatale -2002, Oshima’s Gohatto -1999, Tony Takitani -2005, The Revenant -2015, The Staggering Girl -2019, Proxima -2019, The Black Mirror TV Series -2019.
Folie à Plusieurs
Founded in New York in 2016 by creative director Kaya Sorhaindo, Folie à Plusieurs is a revolutionary experiment blending scent, art, fashion, and psychology into a singular, immersive experience. The brand’s name, translated as ‘madness of many’, is inspired by the psychological phenomenon of folie à deux—a shared delusion between two or more people. This concept encapsulates Folie à Plusieurs’ ethos: creating collective, shared experiences through the power of scent. By collaborating with artists, perfumers, and institutions, the brand seeks to elevate fragrance into an emotional and artistic medium that bridges the senses and the soul.
“Our aim is to elevate the cultural value of fragrance and to broaden its meaning and relationship to the human experience.”
— Kaya Sorhaindo, founder & creative director
Folie à Plusieurs crafts fragrances that evoke cinematic moments, architectural elements, and artistic narratives. Their Le Cinéma Olfactif series transforms film screenings into multisensory events, with custom scents diffused during key scenes in films like The Virgin Suicides, The Lobster, and Blow-Up. Similarly, the brand partners with museums like Manhattan’s New Museum to develop fragrances designed to mirror the tactile and visual elements of the museum’s architecture.
Whilst the brand is based in New York, much of the concept development and design takes place in their creative studio in Berlin, and the fragrance development and production takes place in Paris. At its core, Folie à Plusieurs seeks to deepen our emotional encounters with art, design, and each other. By merging olfactory storytelling with cultural discourse, the brand challenges traditional boundaries and broadens the meaning of scent. Their quarterly Magazine Folie further bridges the gap between fragrance and art, pairing curated scents with editorial content to create a tactile and aromatic narrative.
