A24 x Joya "Backrooms" Scent Score Discovery Set

$65
Backrooms has a Scent Score.
 
Created by Joya founder and scent designer Frederick Bouchardy in collaboration with A24, five connected fragrances – STATIC, YELLOW, WET, SWEETER and DRIFT – are timed to specific moments in the film, translating shifts in space, material, tension and atmosphere into scent.
 
The set includes five numbered 2ml spray vials, scent blotters and a timed guide.
 
Follow the score as you watch, or experience each movement individually on a blotter, in the room or on skin.
