About the Fragrance:
ind.must.y by Agar Olfactory is a sensory tribute to the ICAVCU, blending the rugged elements of an industrial environment with moments of introspection and nostalgia. Through a collaborative process, this perfume maps the textures, sounds, and smells of the exhibition’s space, translating them into a layered composition that is both grounded and ethereal.
Each spritz evokes the juxtaposition of industry and intimacy: the warm embrace of licorice and fennel softened by the mechanical edge of hydraulic oil and damp rubber. Plywood and black tea create a balancing act of earthy and aromatic notes, tethering the scent to its muse.
ind.must.y invites you to explore the intersection of labor, language, and memory—a fragrance as unique and evocative as the stories it seeks to tell.
