Lively and full of contrasts, Dancing Light is a reflection of the northern lights that inspired it. Icy mint and Siberian pine needles bring a breath of coolness. Then a bouquet of bright white flowers with jasmine, neroli and seringa, dances in the heart warmed by the sandalwood.
Perfumer: Sidonie Lancesseur
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The mood is the first hour indoors after a cold walk: pine-like freshness still clings to your coat, while white flowers and soft woods introduce warmth. Dancing Light suits an alert, quietly sociable presence, with its unusual cold–warm contrast giving conversation a subtle sensory backdrop.
How to wear
Try it in spring or on mild autumn days, when the icy opening and warmer woods can both register. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms; exposed skin gives the mint and pine room to lift, while an application beneath clothing favours the softer floral–sandalwood impression.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy green florals but want something less conventional than a straightforward bouquet. Mint and pine bring a brisk edge to jasmine, neroli and syringa, while creamy woods appeal to wearers who prefer freshness with texture rather than sharpness alone.

The nose
Sidonie Lancesseur is a Robertet perfumer who trained under Michel Almairac. Her work often balances clearly defined materials with soft, tactile textures, building compositions that feel legible without being simplistic. She also created Olfactive Studio’s Lumière Blanche; Dancing Light explores another meeting of cool brightness and enveloping warmth through mint, pine needles, white flowers and sandalwood.
Collaborators
Frøydis Dalheim provided the northern-lights photograph that became the fragrance’s creative starting point. A musician and photographer based in Arctic northern Norway, she supplied the visual atmosphere that Sidonie Lancesseur translated into contrasts of icy freshness and soft warmth.
Olfactive Studio’s story
Olfactive Studio brings contemporary photography into the perfume-making process. Founded by Céline Verleure, the house treats photographs as open-ended creative prompts, inviting perfumers to translate their atmosphere and emotional resonance into scent. Its gender-inclusive fragrances favour distinctive textures and artistic interpretation over literal illustration.
Dancing Light’s concept
Dancing Light began with Frøydis Dalheim’s photograph of the aurora borealis. Rather than depicting the northern landscape solely through coldness, the composition introduces movement and contrast: mint and Siberian pine needles meet luminous white flowers, while sandalwood brings a warmer undercurrent.
Extra info
The composition includes a fig-milk accord, adding a creamy facet alongside its icy mint and pine needles. Its inspiration photograph was made by Frøydis Dalheim, whose artistic practice spans both photography and music.
