Augmented Reality
Christophe Laudamiel, Naked Ghosts 2026 - Sans AI
This is an artistic scent sculpture, in a limited edition of 263 bottles and 5 artist proofs, 26/3, as in the birth date of Headmistress Parfumeure Germaine Cellier. Augmented Reality is a dyptique measuring 7.7 x 5.25 x 1.25 in (19.5 x 13.5 x 3 cm), with one 15ml/1 fl oz flask and, separately, 1ml of the original fragrance.
AUGMENTED REALITY is a work built upon Shalimar by Jacques Guerlain. Like a dress-up-your-Shalimar on its 125th anniversary. Actually, 126th by now.
The original formula of 1925, was reworked multiple times by the Guerlain company, with current perfumers Delphine Elk and Thierry Wsser, mostly because they were obligated to by outside regulators with a second agenda.
The fresh-market product from 2026, purchased at a reputable department store in New York City, was used as the main ingredient.
This creation illustrates an example of “good hacking” or “ethical hacking”, as it is called in publishing, the artistic installation world, or car modeling. This art piece opens the eyes and the nostrils to the reality or subjectivity of judgment, the destabilizing potential of the admitted untouchable, as well as the dimensionality of perception.
