6frequencies in the planned full range

  • Each perfume is composed around a single Solfeggio frequency, and the bottle carries that number instead of a name.
  • Sound and scent both reach memory before language does. HZ treats a fragrance like a chord and prints it on the glass.

  • Three perfumes, each bottled on its own and marked with its number; together they form the first chord of the range.
  • Each frequency was set on an equaliser and photographed as one peak; the analyser's own colours became the brand palette.
  • Each perfume is built as a head, heart and base pyramid, named in the 2021 deck. The juices are not yet composed.
