Perfumers Bruno Fazzolari and Antonio Gardoni are delighted to announce the release of Cadavre Exquis, the result of a year-long, trans-Atlantic perfume collaboration game the two played. The term cadavre exquis refers to the game originated by the surrealist artists of the 1920s. In the game, players collectively assemble words or images to create a poem or drawing, with each player making a contribution of his own while totally unaware of the others’. The result is unpredictable and always surprising. The name itself comes from one of the first assembled sentences as reported by surrealist André Breton: “Le cadavre exquis boira le vin nouveau.” (“The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine.”) Antonio Gardoni (Bogue Profumo - Italy) and Bruno Fazzolari (Bruno Fazzolari Studio - USA) adapted the game for perfume. They planned and played their game for over a year: swapping, adding and assembling scents, formulas, perfume samples, texts and drawings. The only rule was a keyword: “gourmand” —a popular sweet-fragrance that has been called “insulting to perfumer’s craft.” It is a category of perfume that neither perfumer had explored. The result is a challenging, experimental eau de parfum produced and bottled in Bruno’s artisan lab in San Francisco. It is a “creature” made of strangely mismatched parts, a smelly Frankenstein, a “monster” that fights against the obvious. Notes include: blood orange, camphor, ylang-ylang, tagetes, dried fruit, star anise, chocolate, cypress, benzoin, vanilla and civet. Cadavre Exquis is produced as an artist’s edition that combines fragrant and visual elements, it includes a perfume and booklet documenting the collaborative exchange. The edition consists of a 50 mL flacon of eau de parfum and a signed, two-color risograph booklet with images by Bruno Fazzolari and Antonio Gardoni. The edition is limited to 99 pieces and is priced at $245. Cadavre Exquis by Bruno Fazzolari is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance.
