Capsule Collection

The concept

ArteOlfatto NicheLab Capsule is an exclusive project bringing together four unique fragrances, each inspired by a different era, yet all bound by the idea of luxury, sophistication and mystery. These creations are not just perfumes but stories told through olfactory notes, speaking of decades rich in cultural, artistic and social change. Each fragrance is an emotional journey that brings back to life the atmospheres, changes and experiments of significant eras, from the glamour of the 1930s to the modernity of the 1990s. Four fragrances gathered in a Capsule, where each bottle tells a decade with its emotions, its aesthetics and its soul.

The idea is to travel through time with a unique olfactory experience, able to evoke the past with its elegance and charm, but also with its intensity. Each fragrance is a story, each note a detail that carries the wearer into another era, without ever losing sight of modernity and exclusivity. Each essence is housed in a minimalist black cylindrical bottle, a symbol of contemporaneity, refinement, mystery and understated luxury. The bottle comes in a wooden case covered in Saffiano leather, combining the elegance of leather with the solidity of wood. Every detail of the packaging is designed to offer a unique experience, from the first impression to the discovery of the fragrance.

Capsule 1936 — Reflections of light and shadow

A mysterious and sophisticated fragrance with oud, saffron, rose and leather, capturing the elegance and resilience of a decade steeped in hope and change.

In the heart of the 1930s, an era marked by the Great Depression but also by the birth of a new luxury and hope, this fragrance opens with a breath of saffron and a hint of oud that evokes distant, mysterious lands as well as the refinement of the elegant salons of the time. Rose and geranium in the heart are symbols of a classic beauty that does not fear the passing of time but grows stronger, set against the contrast of patchouli and vetiver in the base. Here leather and cedar complete the composition with a solid, masculine base that slowly melts into the wood and the wild note of the fragrance. A perfume that tells of an era of elegance and resilience, able to awaken feelings of nostalgia and strength.

Capsule 1942 — Strength and luminosity

A meeting of spirituality and sensuality, with oud, incense, rose and amber, evoking the depth of an era of global transformation.

A decade of profound transformation, in which the world was slowly recovering from the scars of war: this fragrance holds the contrast between hope and depth. Oud and incense in the top notes are the prelude to a mystical, solemn perfume, evoking the meeting of spirituality and resilience. In the heart, rose is the emblem of a timeless beauty, yet a little darker and deeper, as if it were hiding a secret. The base is amber, whose warm, resinous and balsamic character leaves a trail that recalls distant lands and intense atmospheres, without ever losing its classic elegance. A perfume that tells of hope in difficult times, and of the return to beauty and sensuality.

Capsule 1968 — Freedom and avant-garde

A bold blend of liquorice, coffee, barley and amber, reflecting the energy, experimentation and understated luxury of a revolutionary decade.

The 1960s were a time of great experimentation, when pop culture exploded and society sought to break with convention. This fragrance is a bold encounter of notes that seem simple but prove incredibly sophisticated. Liquorice and star anise in the top notes are fresh and spicy, full of energy, like a sparkling, decisive start. In the heart, barley and coffee add a softer, comforting dimension, as if the perfume calmed down while continuing to grow in intensity. The base, warm, enveloping and sensual, is given by amber, which lends the composition a soft and lasting foundation. A perfume that represents innovation and the rise of new aesthetics, without ever losing sight of comfort and pleasure.

Capsule 1990 — Introspection and modernity

A fragrance blending the mystery of rose and saffron with the warmth of cashmere, wood and vanilla, a symbol of an era of reflection and renewal.

The 1990s were a decade of introspection, a time when popular culture evolved dramatically and personal identity became a central theme. This perfume tells of a duality: freshness and depth. The accord of rose and saffron at the top brings a fresh, refined feeling, soon softened by the more mysterious strength of cedar, oud and cashmere woods in the heart, adding a decisive but never overpowering character. The base is soft and deeply sensual, with sandalwood, musk and vanilla blending into a wave of sweetness and enveloping warmth. A perfume that speaks of fragility and strength, of solitude and introspection, but also of hope in a changing world.
