PERFORMANCE
A New Concept in the World of Perfumery.
Alfas Ivanauskas’s culinary perfumes are a scent performance—a time-based, ephemeral work of art created for a specific project, event, spectacle, occasion, happening, or art gallery. Therefore, they are not duplicated, not reproduced, not sold in bottles, and not preserved for another time.
Every time is a completely new experience.
Alfas Ivanauskas’s culinary perfumes are a unique, singular spectacle of the world of aromas that one can experience, feel, allow oneself to be carried away into worlds of imagination, and then simply keep as a memory—a highly personal, authentic, and unique one.
This is an invitation to experience the value of the moment and its power. Alfas Ivanauskas's culinary perfumes are a multilayered experience that cannot be bought and owned; they can only be experienced at exclusive events in any corner of the world.
"I am interested in everything: from the scent to the design of the perfume bottle. I am an art historian and I explore all forms of art – from the ephemeral to the very tangible and material. It is important to me that the shape of the bottle reflects the scent enclosed within it, and that the scent reflects its container. I create the perfume bottles from glass, metal, rubber, wood, and other materials that complement the idea of the scent I have created."
Scent is one of the most important senses. It is a unique opportunity to be both here and somewhere else, where memories, associations, and feelings evoked by the scent teleport one—to a memory, a time, a place, an embrace.
Scents stimulate the appetite (not just for eating, but for living, loving, and creating), activate desires, and intensify pleasure.
The Perfume Bottle: Where the Performance Begins
It is said that the theatre begins at the cloakroom.
Alfas Ivanauskas’s culinary perfume performance begins with the bottle.
● Art and culture festivals
● Exclusive events in art galleries
● Luxury business opening galas
● Corporate celebrations and
representative events
● Exclusive, experiential dinners or tasting evenings
Culinary perfumes can also be "served" before dinner, during dinner, or presented as a standalone part of an interactive performance. They can become the key to your guests' hearts.
The scents can be combined with dishes, appetizers, drinks, or presented as a separate work of art—a scent spectacle or a conceptual, multi-sensory narrative exhibited even in art galleries.
Alfas Ivanauskas's edible culinary perfumes are a multi-sensory art that you will never experience again the same way you experienced it the first time.
