Introducing Savant Garde - Fragrance 01 Inspired by the Memphis Movement and Postmodern Design. In the world of SENSEUM, fragrance is a canvas for art and poetry. It is a medium that transcends the boundaries of time and space, allowing us to craft narratives that transport you to new realms of creative exploration. Our inaugural fragrance, Savant Garde, is a testament to this philosophy. Inspired by the bold and exhilarating aesthetics of the Memphis Movement and Postmodern Design, Savant Garde encapsulates the vibrancy and dopamine-inducing qualities that have defined these revolutionary art movements. Picture yourself in a world where design is not confined to tradition, where colors and shapes defy conventions, and where every object exudes a rebellious spirit. Savant Garde pays homage to the pioneers of Memphis and Postmodern Design who dared to challenge the status quo, creating designs that were as provocative as they were visually stimulating. Just as the Memphis Movement and Postmodern Design brought forth a sense of nostalgia while ushering in the future, our fragrance captures the essence of this artistic rebellion. Savant Garde is an olfactory journey that fuses the traditional with the contemporary, evoking memories of a bygone era while propelling you into a future of boundless creativity. Imagine the scents that surround you as you immerse yourself in the artful chaos of unconventional shapes, dazzling colors, and playful irreverence. Savant Garde is an olfactory masterpiece, a symphony of fragrant notes that beckon you to explore the uncharted territories of your senses. At SENSEUM, we believe that fragrance is more than a mere scent; it is a story waiting to be told, an experience to be lived. With Savant Garde, we invite you to be a part of a narrative that has long inspired us and embark on a sensory adventure that defies boundaries, transcends time, and captures the spirit of the avant-garde. This is our first chapter, and we are delighted to share it with you.

MARISSA ZAPPAS FOR LAUNCH 01: MEMPHIS
Marissa Zappas is a perfumer, scent designer, and poet whose ethereal and nostalgic fragrances blend fantasy, reality, the gothic, and the modern. Her approach to perfumery finds fuel in her background in anthropology, her admiration for avant-garde perfumes of the early twentieth century, and her collaborations with New York City artists.
Marissa believes that perfume – both creating and wearing it – conjures our past, present, and future selves. Her academic work explores the intersection of perfume’s history, attitudes towards death, and the history of cemetery construction. While completing her M.A. and ethnographic training, Marissa also worked at Givaudan and later became an apprentice to master perfumer Olivier Gillotin.
Marissa has lived and worked as a freelancer in New York since 2017 and is now represented by Agence Grace, the premier agency for independent perfumers in Paris.
LEONARD BESSEMER FOR LAUNCH 01: MEMPHIS
Objects for Objects is a Los Angeles based furniture brand founded in 2017 by Leonard Bessemer. As a self-taught carpenter, Leonard got his start doing fabrication for artists in Berlin. Upon his return to California, he began doing full commercial and residential build-outs. Using leftover materials from those jobs, he built his own designs that would become the furniture brand Objects for Objects. The furniture is odd and playful, yet elegant. All of the pieces are built by hand, one at a time, in the studio or in collaboration with local craftsmen.
Objects for Objects has produced a limited edition collection for Urban Outfitters x Clever, shown at Collectible in Brussels, and was awarded a spot on Sight Unseen’s 2019 American design Hot List. His work has been featured in Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, Domino, and Belle Magazine.
