[ALL]CHIMIA
l'alchimie de tous les sens
Through [ALL]chimia, the process of transformation becomes an artistic experience in its own right.
Alchemy pursued the dream of creating gold; today, it is emotions, memories, and human sensitivity that become the raw material for creation. The perfumer, the photographer, and the artist together shape a new, invisible richness: an essence capable of revealing the intimate and giving it a universal dimension.
Following landmark events in Grasse, at Villa Fragonard, and then in Versailles, Sens² – Intimité opens a new chapter in Milan at the Esxence – The Art Perfumery Event, June 3–6, 2026. This new experience, in collaboration with Kitty Shpirer, offers an immersive journey where fragrances and images converse through a shared emotional language.
Bissoumine is an independent perfume house established in 2009 by Kitty Shpirer, an artist perfumer, passionately inspired by art in all its forms, exploring the power of smell in augmenting art and its engagement with the audience.
Collaborating with artists, writers, and performers, Bissoumine specializes in adding an olfactive dimension to art creations and exhibitions - creating an olfactive bridge between the artist, its art and the viewer.
Kitty Shpirer is based in Grasse, France. Her journey is marked by the creation of her own brand and line of perfumes, Bissoumine, followed by exploration and work in multidisciplinary olfactory projects.
