Founded by perfumer Barnabé Fillion, Arpa Studios transcends the boundaries of traditional perfumery to explore synesthesia. Each fragrance is conceived as a frequency, interacting with a dedicated musical composition to create a fully immersive experience.
Far removed from conventional codes, Arpa captivates with its futuristic aesthetic. Its colored resin bottles, inspired by architecture and light, are veritable translucent sculptures. An experimental and radical approach to perfume, where matter meets sound.
About this selection
Founded with the ambition of placing raw materials back at the heart of olfactory creation, Arpa Studios has established itself as a benchmark in contemporary niche perfumery. The house operates outside the codes of commercial perfumery, favoring experimental compositional approaches and ingredients of a quality and rarity that conventional luxury houses have progressively abandoned in favor of volume. Each Arpa Studios fragrance is conceived as a standalone piece, a sensory object in its own right that both questions and seduces.
Arpa Studios' unisex perfumes are for those who reject rigid categories and olfactory conventions inherited from another century. The compositions play on unexpected contrasts, combining noble materials like oud, ambergris, or iris with more contemporary and unsettling notes. The result is a collection of fragrances that evolve differently depending on the wearer's skin, revealing their complexity over time rather than immediately.
At Actuel B, we offer a selection of Arpa Studios perfumes, available in our Avignon and Arles boutiques as well as on our website. Our teams will guide you in discovering each fragrance, with the time and attention that a choice as intimate as a perfume deserves.
