AirSolutions made KALLISTI, an olfactory backdrop as a tribute to the high capitalist grandeur of the 90s. Initiated by Abel van Gijlswijk for AABZ, we drew inspiration from the idea of opening an olfactory portal to the peak of street chic – an era immortalized by the now-closed Parisian concept shop, Colette. KALLISTI was made with a clean and musky incense accord. AABZ’s theatre production dispersed KALLISTI at every venue during its tour across the Netherlands. Following each performance, KALLISTI was offered for sale as room fragrance, bottled as a tongue-in-cheek band merchandise or a capitalist-inspired forget-me-not.
