BOUGIE IRIS - BERGAMOTTE

Nathalie Sonnet, ceramist

After studying history, I joined the Louvre Museum at the end of the 80’s, then in full mutation. My gaze is particularly focused on ceramics, perhaps because here one perceives the hand shaping matter. I then resume studies of art history and, from eye to hand, other apprenticeships, which gradually and durably attach me to this material, clay. In 2005 I set up a workshop in Normandy, where color and light nourish my work. 

Since then, following a path of research in forms, colors, textures, the body is increasingly involved in gesture and develops proximity and intimacy with matter.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) English writers.
An interior fragrance inspired by the world of this famous novelist of the Victorian era. Spruce and mandarin mingle with the notes of a refined oud.

A Monkey In Winter captures the atmosphere of a wild beach located between sea and forest.

The spray rubs shoulders with the lichen and ferns.

Like an alchemist, I intervene in photography mainly with simple materials (scotches, papers, inks, pencils, pastels, pens, paints, liquid bitumen…).

I push to the limit of support each draw, pushing all established rules. Immersed in ink baths, each impression gives itself at random a controlled metamorphosis. Next comes sequencing, marks and traces on photography, painting, assemblages, collages.

This setting creates two spaces that provoke and lead the gaze of a «Before» towards a «Elsewhere».   

The series «Approximative Landscapes» asks about the processes of exploration and appearance of the image. 

Around this representation, it is my own interior landscape as poetic and visual layers that appears on the surface. The art of telling with light what is mysterious and intimate, secretly deep and enclosed in the shadows.

To venture, to create a landscape for light, to redo the route of the day, from one bank to the other, to print sound...

Here at 20 RUE JACOB, hides a secret place in the heart of St Germain des Prés.

 American Natalie Clifford Barney's literary salon is named after

"Temple of Friendship". For more than 60 years this place welcomes the finest minds in a neoclassical decor. The "Amazon" show will remain one of the last so influential. Jardins d´écrivains permeates the intensity of this story to compose the fragrance

of a Parisian spring.

In a case of amber patchouli, a radiant bergamot is combined with the delicate palmarosa.

The SNOBBISH candle praises noble materials by dressing in a stone-coloured vegetable-tanned leather and revealing an atmosphere of curiosity. The opulence of osmanthus harmonizes with the notes of musk tonkin.

Once the candle has been used up, the leather ganized glass becomes an object such as a pot cache, a cosmetic jar or a pencil pot, depending on the inspiration;)

100% vegetable soy wax, 285G. 

Magical plants and occult botany give birth to a spagyric perfume.

Witch flowers make a pact with opium in the heart of incense swirls.

FLORE OCCULTE is an all-over spray for the body but also to create an atmosphere around you.

Spray 8.45fl.oz

Nothing could be more picaresque than the life of “La Belle Otero”, singing, dancing, jumping on a table ! The beautiful gypsy has an insatiable nature. The queen of elegance frequented kings from Paris to Monte Carlo. She was the most ruthless courtesan of the Belle Époque. She devoted her life to dancing, men, precious stones, gambling and above all freedom.

Epicurus (342 BC JC-270 BC), Greek philosopher.
The garden is the philosophical school open to men, women and slaves founded by Epicurus. A minimalist perfume with notes of licorice macerated with apothecary plants.
