„I was stuck instantly by Nissa’s Folie olfactive diary and works. I wanted to recreate the scent of humus, having the feeling of this cold and wet forest soil surrounded by hazy fog. I wanted to also express the divinatory character of her work, a kind of mystery, of instinctive & primal knowledge of the elements. I then worked around a captive molecule from Takasago called Humus Ether that has the scent of humid earth then I added a green facet to it to accentuate this raw evocation and reflect the intelligence of nature and cosmogony. - Antoine Lie, Takasago (December, 2013)
