Art Meets Art turns cult songs into perfumes: each bottle is the scented version of a track everyone has hummed at some point. Like A Virgin, Besame Mucho and Sexual Healing are there to be listened to with your nose at Sayhar, in our boutique near the Champs-Élysées, or to order online.
The Art Meets Art house
Behind this independent French house is Tanguy Le Baud, guitarist, music lover and child of Paris, who grew up on a houseboat facing the Pont Alexandre III. His intuition: a great song and a great perfume work in the same way. Both tell a story, revive a memory and end up belonging to whoever wears them. For each creation, he pairs a legendary track with a leading perfumer, like a duet between music and material: Alberto Morillas for Like A Virgin, Christophe Raynaud for Besame Mucho and Sexual Healing, Frank Voelkl for Lilac Wine. Everyone hears these songs in their own way, through their own story. Perfume follows the same logic: one bottle, as many interpretations as there are skins. The brand talks about 'mojo' to describe that intimate mood that changes from one day to the next, and invites everyone to choose their own.
Art Meets Art perfumes available at Sayhar
Besame Mucho: a blood mandarin lifted by incense and iris, resting on black leather, Atlas cedarwood and white sandalwood.
Like A Virgin: an aquatic opening, a bouquet of freesia, peony and rose, then the softness of musk and amber.
Like A Virgin - Unplugged: the acoustic version, more intimate, with bergamot, Moroccan orange blossom, milk and vanilla.
Lilac Wine: lavender, violet and plum around a cognac accord, on a base of cedarwood, musk and moss.
Sexual Healing: honey and ginger, a heart of tobacco absolute, then a cocooning warmth of vanilla and amber.
Which Art Meets Art perfume should I choose?
The two Like A Virgin fragrances are for flower lovers: the original fresher and brighter, the Unplugged version milkier and more caressing. Sexual Healing will delight fans of honeyed, tobacco notes. Besame Mucho plays on the contrast between bright citrus and dark leather, while Lilac Wine goes for a powdery, woody accord tinged with cognac. The whole collection is unisex and comes in 50 ml bottles.
