Space Fluid Whispering Fields

Dust from the harvest dances in the sunlight, carrying news that summer is over.

The barley has been cut and is already roasting. Someone lies back on a pile of patchouli in a suede jacket, a strawberry chocolate in the pocket, and the picnic begins with ginger tea.

Visitors come over from the sandalwood grove, angelica and lavender among them. Up in a lime tree, a squirrel sips absinthe.

Space Fluid is the work of Marketa Maf, a writer and visual artist based in Prague and New York whose two award-winning books carry physics and biology into fiction. Self-taught and trained in London and Grasse, Maf carries every release from idea to formula to a hand-filled bottle, and the fragrances are blended by hand in Prague.

The house reaches for scents daily life has lost: hay, clay, rain, horse fur, fresh flour, apple cellars. Precious absolutes such as archival sandalwood and wild jungle oud are chosen over synthetic substitutes, and the alcohol is food grade. Each release is written as a story of time and memory.
