AFTER

Clara Weiss (Germany, 31, Fashion Archivist)

Q: What is your name, and tell us a little about yourself?
I am Clara Weiss, a fashion archivist preserving garments shaped by real lives. I work with clothing that has been worn, washed, repaired, and softened by time.

Q: How did you reason when you decided how to craft your perfume?
I named this perfume After because presence often lingers beyond the moment itself. Linen, skin warmth, and gentle florals felt like the trace of someone just gone. I selected Air as my element, because breath is invisible yet lasting. My intention was Intimacy—because closeness doesn’t announce itself.

Q: How was the result, and how does it make you feel?
Like entering a room where someone was recently there. Quiet, clean, and deeply familiar.
