ORIGIN

Ilya Petrov (Estonia, 44, Sculptor)

Q: What is your name, and tell us a little about yourself?
I am Ilya Petrov, a sculptor working with stone and metal. My days are spent removing material until form reveals itself. I believe creation begins long before the artist intervenes.

Q: How did you reason when you decided how to craft your perfume?
I named this perfume Origin because I wanted to return to the state before intention becomes control. Mineral notes, wet earth, and cool woods felt honest—untouched, elemental. I selected Earth as my element, because permanence matters to me. My intention was Truth—because purity exists before refinement.

Q: How was the result, and how does it make you feel?
Like standing in a place that existed long before language. Quiet, grounded, inevitable.
