agar olfactory // matsutake musk
matsutake musk is a speculative scent created in response to growing symbiotic processes between fungi and humans.
notes: mushroom gills, skin
year 2077: humans have begun incorporating mycelium into their routines, diets, architectural structures, and medicinal systems in exponential ways. the increasingly abundant quantity of fungi in human bodies begins to create a communal bodily emanation uncannily similar to mushrooms. in the warm crevice of an armpit, you find a fruiting body.
30 ml / 1 oz or 2ml sample
* matsutake musk comes packaged in sustainable compostable packaging.

agar olfactory (based in chicago) is a project in speculative olfaction by agustine zegers. it imagines climate disaster and apocalyptic scenarios and the type of smell landscapes that would exist in such events. it collapses timespace by activating embodied intensities and inviting us to adjust our palettes as we peer into the future.
as a project, it acknowledges the layered (and currently unfolding) apocalypses of our time, including, but not limited to: the sixth mass extinction event, the colonial apocalypse of 1492, and the covid-19 pandemic.
the project offers wearable olfactory works to invite sustained engagement with quantum queer time and to allow somatic alignment with future ecological states and eras.
agar olfactory has been crucially nurtured by many mycelial collaborators, thinkers, and friends including but not limited to: Isabel Lee, Jesse Mackenzie, Lee Rae Walsh, Lukaza Branfman-Verissimo, Oscar Salguero, Nontsikelelo Mutiti, Egbert Vongmalaithong, Mariana Parisca, Constantina Zavitsanos, Grace Denis, Queer Art, Murmurs, Abrons Art Center, Everything, and Olfactory Art Keller.
