A limited edition, fine art fragrance created in conjunction with the exhibition “On Forgetting”, exhibited in Portland, Oregon, then shared at the AIX Scent Fair at the Hammer Art Museum in 2016. The scent is inspired by Psyche’s journey and the narrative of the third task she is asked to fill a flask from the rushing waters of the River Styx. The river and waters have many meanings, one of which is the waters of forgetfulness. It is in this context that the idea was born to create fragrances, fill a flask, that would help to erase some of the nuisance and noise of the past to create clarity and room for living in the present.

Perfume review from Luca Turin: “These are all really nice fragrances, but the one that brought me back turned out to be Forget 5 Years Ago. I have no idea what happened five years ago in CHE’s life, and as I said above I doubt it had anything to do with the fragrance, but this thing smells really good, a rich, melancholy, powdery floral hovering between gardenia and tobacco. Definitely worth remembering.”
