SILUETA EAU DE PARFUM

“Smells […] like the fraught present. The proof of the living.”
—Tracy Wan, @theinvisiblestories, via Instagram Stories

Ghostly Floral Blooms Over Soil

Life cycles viewed through hollow historical records written by forced hands: soft blooms and blonde woods, so much sand, the cacoa, the cacaloxóchitl y el omolixochitl—no—la tierra madre, la sangre en polvo, el espíritu santo, la magdalena, el exilio, las piedras a cenizas. Y/our absence, y/our loss.

Feeling

Reverent & Awful—in the classic sense of the word “awful,” as in “awe-full,” as in “full of awe” 
Presence

Unisex. Quiet, layered, and introspective. Best worn when you’re willing to listen closely. But my best friend (a cis man) also wears it to the office, so YMMV.
Projection

Soft, private, intimate, grounded, and somehow inexplicably aloof. Known for totally vanishing into thin air for hours only to return seemingly out of nowhere. An excellent perfume for when you want to wear perfume, but you don’t want to be reminded that you’re wearing perfume.

Scent Sculpture

A cube-like visual metaphor offering online audiences an idea of the wearing experience of Silueta EdP through its representation of form, color, transparency, weight, and texture.
3D scent sculpture for Chronotope Perfume’s Silueta Eau de Parfum, set against a background of Exile Red. Once a dark mineral block threaded with gold and amethyst, the form now appears eroded, its center dissolved and hollowed out—a visual expression of absence, exile, entropy, and the loss of cultural Identity.
What Wearers Say

”When I need to go back home to the islands, this fragrance sends me to my happy place. Dolores […] is a creation of art ion a bottle. Carter nailed the scent of my childhood home […] The florals, the salty trade winds, the koa wood, keawe trees, red dirt trails and hugs from Oahu […] The gardenia and tuberose are glorious surrounded by wafts of beautiful woods.”
—@tammielovesfragrance, via Instagram

”Salty, mineralic citrus and green galbanum bridged by watery florals and grassy vetiver to moss and gentle wood-smoke. A memory of the body as water, earth and atmosphere.”
—Dave Kern, American Perfumer

“The pre-colonial name for tuberose in the place where it was first found and stolen by settlers is omixochitl, and the idea of bloody earth and a flower that became a centrepiece of French perfumery of course doesn’t make for light or casual wear, but that narrative is only there if you choose to attend to it. In any case, Silueta is either about art and violence, or it’s about tuberose, and it’s very possible to love it if you only care for one of those things. It’s not an elegant or dainty tuberose that has been practically done to death in perfumery, and instead one for the gardeners out there.”
—Billie Stimpson, Pink Manor Decant Club

“Look, I'm at a loss here. I sprayed this on my wrist this morning and felt a rush of scrambled emotions and nostalgia. It smells like an old-school perfume, something classic, but also like food, like herbs. It reminds me of a makeup bag, which leads me to believe there is rose, iris, and/or violet in here. It is beautiful.”
