DEMO ACCORDS - Make Perfume Not War. A book by Pia Long

Demo Accords is a unique combination of Art, Perfumery and Writing. A book that contains formulas, and a scent kit that you can smell along with the work.

Containing ten fully published perfume formulas, one piece of fiction and nine essays on political and personal topics, Demo Accords is a multidisciplinary collection of narratives where perfumery is part of the story and the stories are part of the perfumes.

In this work Pia explores the intersection between her two lifelong loves: writing and perfumery. Part manifesto, part polemic, part protest, part autobiography, the common thread is radical vulnerability of the perfumer’s art, practice and personal views.

In our special event, held upstairs at the Cult of Scent Atelier, We had Pia take us through the thought processes and inspiration of the book and the formulas as well as the fragrant elements used to create them.

We have a few copies of her book here in the Atelier if you would like to order them.
