A Conversation with matter.

Born in 2021 from the vision of Alexandre Piffaut and Manon Hudson, Ofumum is a contemporary perfume house where the arts of fragrance and ceramics converge. It is an invitation to a unique sensory journey, encouraging a deep, instinctive connection to its creations through the primal senses of touch and smell. Drawing inspiration from the classical forms of antiquity, each collection is released in finite, limited editions.

At the heart of Ofumum is master ceramist Manon Hudson, who gives scent a physical form by passionately hand-sculpting each vessel. Far more than simple containers, these bottles are crafted to mirror the character and vitality of the fragrance within, making the object an integral part of the experience. The perfumes are composed by Alexandre Piffaut and Laure Jacquet in their workshop two hours from Marseille, meticulously designed to embody the ceramic shape and create a synergy between the tactile and the olfactory.

Ofumum’s ethos is rooted in a “slow scent” philosophy, a deliberate move away from an industry often focused on mass production. The brand believes in creating tangible objects of enduring beauty—slow-produced pieces designed to transcend time. Each limited release places the warmth of the human hand and true artistry at its core, celebrating craftsmanship and mindful experience.

The universe of Ofumum is sophisticated, artisanal, and poetic, building a bridge between the ancient world and the present day. With three scents launched in April 2023—inspired by ceramics, iris, and cedar—Ofumum beckons you to engage with its contemporary primitive artifacts and explore a truly immersive sensory world.
