A Lab On Fire continues the New York project S-Perfume, founded in Brooklyn in 2000 by Japanese sculptor Nobi Shioya. After Shioya's departure, Carlos Kusubayashi developed a line under his creative direction and launched it at Colette in Paris in April 2011. Initially produced by hand for the boutique, the house later expanded internationally before giving way to What We Do Is Secret in 2021.

The house operates like an editorial laboratory: each fragrance is born from a collaboration with a renowned perfumer, chosen for a distinctive idea rather than a fixed signature. The compositions favour contrast, surprise and precision. The bottles and labels adopt a minimal, almost industrial aesthetic that keeps the name and the juice in the spotlight.

Right now at Fragsplit, 3 A Lab On Fire fragrances are available as 1 to 10 ml decants: Almost Transparent Blue, Liquidnight, Sweet Dreams 2003.

Frequently asked questions

Is A Lab On Fire a niche fragrance brand?
Yes. A Lab On Fire belongs to niche perfumery: limited production, selective distribution and collaborations with renowned perfumers define its approach.
Which A Lab On Fire fragrance should you try first?
Liquidnight is a good starting point for discovering the house: it is one of its most distinctive creations, and its name is among the fragrances available here.
Why does A Lab On Fire collaborate with several perfumers?
The house favours distinctive projects over a single olfactory signature. Each perfumer can therefore bring their interpretation to an idea, a contrast or an atmosphere.
