History
Peppery and woody, Autoportrait was created by Olfactive Studio, a participatory brand run by Céline Verleure. Olfactive Studio is the encounter ‘between art photography and perfumery, between the eye and the nose.’ Chambre Noire is the offspring of a collaboration between perfumer Nathalie Lorson and photographer Luc Lapôtre… A ‘mysterious and sensual fragrance that reveals itself in the dark.’
Range
Eau de Parfum 1.7 and 3.4 oz.
Bottle
A square bottle with rounded angles graced with a label reminiscent of photographers’ labeling tape. The packaging is decorated with a photo by Luc Lapôtre.

This sounds interesting. Something different for a man than the usual fare.

I like all the fragrances of that brand. I received the samples via a Osmoz Box that I won in november and I must say I really like them. This is a woody scent with a little bit of incense (but not too much) and it's really light. I really like the dry effect of bergamot at first and it's accord with something close to anis. I usually dislike anis, but in this it's okay, and that doesn't last anyway because it evolves a lot on your skin. You can smell the perfume during at least 7 hours, which is okay. But overall, it's a magic scent. It seems to guide you far away in an other universe!
