AZABACHE
The first perfume named Azabache was introduced by Pigmentarium in the fall of 2021. A striking aromatic composition was created under the artistic direction of Spanish fashion designer Arturo Obegero, for his eponymous fashion brand based in Paris.
The perfume, born from the synergy of two young creative teams, was released in a limited series of black bottles with gold detailing of the name, chosen by Arturo for their joint olfactory work.
Azabache, Spanish for Obsidian: Obsidian, a natural volcanic glass, is a material known for its exceptional sharpness when broken, formed by hot lava interacting with ocean water and cooling rapidly. Beaches can be common places of obsidian discovery.
CHAPTER 2
The new perfume arrives after more than three years and represents the evolution that both Arturo Obegero and Pigmentarium have undergone during this time.
The hot summer sun stirring the air above a garden full of roses.The cool shade of a Spanish church. The salty air saturated with the high waves of the ocean and the scent of surf wax. Long dinners and conversations in the soft glow of candles.
These memories of Arturo's adolescence in northern Spain, as well as his Parisian work influenced by surrealism and the neo-noir movement, form the basis of inspiration for the first Azabache perfume and remain a guiding idea even now.
