BRAND & FOUNDER

PHILOSOPHY: A KINGDOM LIVES IN AN IRIS ⚜️

The world is open to poetic reinterpretation, and sometimes the smallest things hold the grandest possibilities. Scent invites us to perceive reality through a different lens, where flowers, places, and moments can reveal richer meaning. What we choose to notice quietly shapes who we are becoming. It is from this sensibility that our fragrances begin.

CRAFT: PERFUMES FOR SHAPESHIFTERS 🎭

Art & Alchemy opens doors to hidden places with a collection of theatrical fragrances. Every collection is shaped by poetry, symbolism, and carefully chosen artistic references, encouraging curiosity and play. Each fragrance offers the opportunity to step into narratives that elevate the everyday and give centre stage to the unrealized personas waiting in the wings.

DESTINATION: THE EMPORIUM OF FRAGRANT CURIOSITIES 🧪

If wonder, mystery, and emotional depth have always guided you, then you may have found your destination. A place for the curious, the unconventional, and anyone who understands that sometimes a flower can be more than a flower.

 

ABOUT OUR FOUNDER

Mika the Alchemist

Mïka Tremblay is the artist and perfumer behind ART & ALCHEMY®. Classically trained as a pianist, he founded an experimental theatre company in Montreal before building a career spanning more than two decades with Canada's leading orchestras. Today, those experiences converge through fragrance.

Drawn to poetry, theatre, gardens, visual art, and popular culture, Mïka approaches perfume as a creative medium capable of carrying ideas that cannot always be expressed through words alone.

Growing up in a small town, Mïka escaped into comic books, fantasy, and horror, where the unlikely became possible and every character held the potential to become something greater. That same sensibility continues to shape every fragrance, collection, and object created by ART & ALCHEMY®.
