published on 2026-01-05[YUREI, Fragrance of a Ghost]
Another work, YUREI, the fragrance of a ghost, is represented by the unique artistic process of fragrance modeling, applied for the first time to the fragrance of LILITH, a dark heroine.
All of these works will form a series entitled From Spirit to Matter.
The fragrance YUREI, Soulmate, the fragrance of a ghost, is an allegory of perfume created for the first halo* of the exhibition From Matter to Spirit at the Alban-Mainville Cultural Center in 2021.
*halo = name given to each new representation of the exhibition From Matter to Spirit.
[THE SPECTRUM OF THE SPECTRUM]
Therefore, the chromatogram of this perfume gave rise to a neologism, a titulated ectopl(éon)asm : The spectrum of the spectrum.
The chromatogram is the two-dimensional representation of the signal analyzed by chromatography.
The two dimensions commonly found on a chromatogram are time and signal intensity.
Also, the chromatogram is often called a spectrum, particularly when it comes from the analysis of a spectrophotometer, which allows the determination of the concentration of a chemical species in a solution.
[OTHER SPECTRA]
The term spectrum is indeed used in several scientific and technical fields.
For example, the visible light spectrum, or electromagnetic spectrum, corresponds to the range of wavelengths perceived by the human eye.
Also, the sound spectrum, which constitutes the sound audible to the human ear.
YUREI is also a musical work composed in 2021 for the exhibition From Matter to Spirit and remastered in 2025 for the 5-track EP Sky’s the Limit.
If you have sound analysis software, you can view its frequency spectrum.
[OLFACTORY DECOMPOSITION OF A GHOST’S PERFUME]
The four accords that compose this fragrance gave rise to an olfactory exhibition called Olfactory Decomposition of a Ghost’s Perfume, which has been integrated into each section of the multi-sensory exhibition From Matter to Spirit since 2021.
These accords are named:
THE SANCTUARY – 聖域 –
THE ICON – 聖像 –
THE SHROUD – 裹尸布 –
ENCLOSE ME – 抱きしめて –
To discover them, these accords are presented using olfactorigami, whose diffusion principle is simple.
Simply squeeze the diffuser bulb and position your nose above this small origami flower to experience the scent that fills your nostrils.
