Kamila Aubre is a Belgium-based artist working with natural aromatics and holistic journaling, blending sensory experiences and introspective writing to create transformative, multi-dimensional concepts that deepen personal reflection and self-awareness.
Currently, her work draws inspiration from transpersonal psychology, mystical traditions, and entheogenic studies. Before, it was inspired by classic literature, analog art, and jazz, infused with elements of esotericism and spirituality. Rooted in a slow movement philosophy, each fragrance prioritizes mindful practices, deep connections with materials, and quality over quantity, crafted in micro-batches or limited editions using 100% natural, sustainable, and predominantly organic aromatic materials. Embracing a low-waste ethos, K.A. perfumes are offered either package-free or with reusable packaging, depending on availability.
In 2025, she launched Lab and Fragments, two projects exploring the human psyche—Lab delves into the art and science of natural aromatics as a platform for creative experimentation in perfumery, while Fragments centers around journaling as a tool for self-reflection, blending sensory exercises, introspective prompts, and connections to nature and creativity. Together, these projects further her ongoing exploration of the intricate layers of human experience.

Deconstructing Traditional Perfumery
Fluidity of natural aromatics and the visionary formulas deconstruct traditional perfumery by moving beyond conventional structures and fragrance families. Rejecting the fixed hierarchy of top, middle, and base notes, each scent is crafted as a fluid, ever-evolving composition with no distinct beginning or end. These fragrances transform over time, unveiling unexpected layers and shifting emotional landscapes as they are worn, creating an unpredictable sensory journey. Much like an abstract work of art, the scents invite the wearer to experience them as ongoing, multi-dimensional pieces, where the boundaries between time, memory, and perception dissolve into an ever-changing olfactory experience. This approach fosters a deeper connection to fragrance as a transformative, personal, and introspective art form.
Abstract Scent is a concept that moves beyond traditional perfume structures, creating intentionally fluid and ever-evolving fragrances with no distinct or defined notes. These perfumes capture the essence of landscapes, memories, and emotions, offering a kaleidoscope of experiences where the boundaries between time, place, and memory dissolve. Designed to encourage introspection, each scent becomes a personal journey, inviting deeper reflection and sensory exploration. By diverging from conventional perfume standards, Abstract Scent allows you to engage with fragrance in a more intuitive and subjective way, providing a unique, transformative experience that transcends typical aromatic profiles.
Beyond Labels: Intuitive Scent Exploration is an artistic journey that invites you to experience fragrance or individual natural aromatics in their rawest, most unfiltered form, free from names, labels, or descriptions. By removing all external influences, this concept encourages you to engage with each scent using only your senses, memory, and emotions, fostering a deeper, more personal connection. With product information discreetly placed at the bottom of the bottles, or unlabelled and numbered for convenience, the experience is guided by instinct and personal preference, allowing you to make discoveries without bias or expectation. This intuitive approach not only reveals unexpected preferences but also creates an intimate, sensory journey where each scent is appreciated on its own terms, offering a unique and authentic exploration of fragrance.
Villanelles Spiral is a conceptual fragrance collection inspired by the scent of change and transition, rooted in the darker aspects of human and natural life cycles. Drawing from the cyclical nature of existence, each numbered edition builds upon the previous one, creating an ongoing, perpetual spiral of scent complexity. Like the intricate structure of a Villanelle poem, where each line and refrain adds depth and resonance, these perfumes evolve and layer over time, reflecting the constant flux and transformation inherent in both life and nature. The series captures the essence of growth, decay, and rebirth, offering a sensory journey that deepens with each new edition, inviting reflection on the interconnectedness of all life stages.
