Xyrena - Shutter

Experience the nostalgic allure of Xyrena Shutter Perfume, a one-of-a-kind fragrance that immortalises the lost scent of classic photography. As part of Xyrena’s avant-garde fragrance collection, Shutter is a time capsule in a bottle, reviving the unmistakable aroma of instant film, 35mm canisters, and the golden age of analogue media.

Crafted by perfumer Carlos Torres and creative director Killian Wells, Shutter by Xyrena is the first fragrance to authentically recreate the olfactory essence of vintage film. Sourced from decades past—1981, 1998, 2001, and 2006-2009—rare deadstock film was studied to inspire this ground-breaking scent. It opens with a sharp, metallic burst of acetic acid and camphor, ingredients historically used in both perfumery and photography. The fragrance develops with a sweet yet industrial accord reminiscent of freshly cracked film canisters, VHS tapes, and cassette reels, before settling into a warm, subtly acidic dry-down that lingers like the memory of a darkroom in action.

Why you’ll love it:
