The wild child of fragrance, Pigmentarium, teases our sensibilities with a daring redux of their cult fragrance masterpiece, Erotikon. Marking its fifth anniversary, a perfumed saga once whispered in hints of chocolate and pink pepper, now roars in a visual spectacle—a photo collection laced with the raw charge of masculine intimacy.

Enter Kubo Krížo, the Slovak lens maestro whose previous work danced at the edge of material excess and baroque shock. Today, he veers into unknown territory, capturing closeness and the bare essence of being on film, framed by two male forms entwined. His pivot isn’t a quiet one. It brims with the audacious energy we’ve come to expect from Pigmentarium campaigns.

Krížo tips his hat to the 2019 visual story spun by Hana Knížová, who played with femininity and fragrance as a seductive cocktail poured over contrasting muses, Vanda Janda and Monika Sofia. Yet Krížo’s homage forges a new path, threading elements of the original narrative into his expansive view of Erotikon.

The shift isn’t for shock—it’s for revelation. The original gourmand blend, a dance of chocolate notes alloyed with the spice of pink pepper and the sweet swoon of vanilla, now crescendos into the primal embrace of amber and musk. The message is clear: Erotikon’s power to enchant knows no bounds, adapting to the skin’s silent song, no matter whose pulse it quickens.

This new visual foray isn’t about buzz; it’s about the universal language of allure. Pigmentarium now dares you to see Erotikon as not merely a scent but as an essence that morphs with its wearer—be they woman or man—a kind of magic that feels tailor-made for each individual.
