The story
Perfume carved from stone and night.
Obsidian Lab is a fragrance house born underground — from volcanic glass, cold mineral and the scent of rain on rock. Five extraits, each named for an hour of the night, from midnight to the first light of 05:30.
The identity works like a laboratory: a teardrop emblem cut like obsidian, a lockup spaced by the golden ratio, and editorial serifs set beside the quiet precision of batch numbers and timestamps.
I
The Emblem
A reductive geological emblem: an obsidian teardrop and its mineral strata. The clearance between mark and wordmark is set by the golden ratio, cap height divided by 1.618. A nocturnal palette of Obsidian Pitch, Abyssal Slate and Mineral Mist.
II
Five Hours of Night
Five extraits. Five hours of the night. Cinder & Vein opens at midnight; Brutalia arrives with dawn. Weighted glass crowned with raw basalt and cast concrete. Each cap, its own material.
IV
Form Forged in Shadow
Brutalist architecture, hard daylight, 35mm grain. The city becomes a gallery for the night.
