PERFUMES FOR SHAPESHIFTERS 🎭

Art & Alchemy is a studio dedicated to artisanal perfumery shaped by theatre and performance. Each scent is imagined as a character, offering a way to step into a different mood or presence. Rooted in the performing arts, these fragrances are intimate and expressive, bringing intention to the everyday. Every bottle belongs to a larger narrative inviting exploration of identity, beauty, and imagination through scent.

Art & Alchemy extends beyond perfume into accessories and garments, carrying the same language of expression across form.

 

ABOUT OUR FOUNDER

Mika the Alchemist

Mïka Tremblay is the artist and perfumer behind ART & ALCHEMY®, blending the worlds of scent, sound, and storytelling into immersive, transformative experiences. With a background as a classically trained pianist, with over two decades of experience working with Canada’s leading orchestras, and the creation of his own experimental theatre company in Montreal, Mïka’s artistic journey has always been driven by a desire to tell stories that evoke emotion and transcend boundaries.

Growing up in a small town, Mïka often felt like an outsider. With a diverse heritage and being queer, he didn’t quite fit into the conventional mold. He found escape and inspiration in comic books, fantasy, and horror films, where difference was celebrated and imagination had no limits. These vibrant universes shaped his creative vision, inspiring him to explore identity, transformation, and resilience.

I consistently find myself recounting variations of the same tale: one of a character who, despite facing misunderstanding and marginalization, transcends these obstacles to emerge as a formidable and empowered individual. I identify with those characters, and I perceive that strength and potential within everyone. - Mika

Mïka is dedicated to empowering those who embrace their differences, creating a space where uniqueness thrives. ART & ALCHEMY® invites you to step into a world where transformation and self-expression take center stage.
