I Am Trash – Les Fleurs du Déchet
The premise could have been a stunt — a fragrance made from the byproducts of agriculture and the food industry, the olive oil lees, the coffee grounds, the bruised fruit rinds.

By the editors · 2 min readThe premise could have been a stunt — a fragrance made from the byproducts of agriculture and the food industry, the olive oil lees, the coffee grounds, the bruised fruit rinds. What Antoine Lie did with it, though, is convincingly alive. The opening is green and waxy, like sunlit stems pulled from a compost heap — earthy brightness that somehow stops short of unpleasant. In development a quiet rose surfaces, rounder and less chemical than a florist's standard, joined by something root-like and grounding.
The surprise is how composed it all becomes. The base dries down to sandalwood and musk with a faint animalic trace — nothing that pushes; more the warmth of skin at the end of a day in the garden. I am Trash wears like a philosophical point made gently: what we discard can hold more life than what we curate.
