Curionoir is a New Zealand house that creates fragrances and rare objet d’art that evoke memories in a world of sensory intangibles. Smell is the only sense that connects directly to memory. In this way, parfums are stories, binding the past to the present, weaving worlds together. The fragrances created by Curionoir are designed to bind to the skin, their essence blending with the wearer’s to create an utterly unique experience: a story entirely their own. Curionoir is built on deeply rooted traditions and memories of relatives; weaving flax, carving bone and wood, mixing tinctures of native herbs. Tiffany Witehira draws on her own past to respond to the rich, varied history of perfumery.
