MATENADARAN

Ancient manuscripts, ink, parchment, and stone.

It's a deep, intellectual scent — a library of centuries, bound in warm silence.

Matenadaran — the institute of ancient manuscripts — is an archive of Armenian memory.

The architecture of language.

The engraving for Matenadaran is inspired by the Armenian alphabet — one of the oldest and most distinctive scripts in the world.

The engraving becomes a visual manuscript blueprint, honoring Matenadaran as the guardian of Armenian literacy, history, and scholarly tradition.

We approached the fragrance as a study of preserved knowledge:

• ink absorbed into parchment
• leather bindings
• cool stone halls
• dust warmed by filtered sunlight
• faint sweetness of aged paper
