CASE STUDY - BRAND COLLABORATION
THE UNVEILING
Where Fragrance Meets Flavor
BÜHNE NOIR ACT II · H&M
THE COLLABORATION
An exploration of scent, flavor, and memory.
For the launch of BÜHNE NOIR's ACT II collection at H&M , KO Kitchen developed an immersive culinary experience inspired by the fragrance house's world of ritual, warmth, and sensory storytelling.
Rooted in Haitian culinary heritage, the experience brought together custom passed bites, an edible installation, and intentional hospitality.
ACT II - THE SCENT
A warm, woody composition with floral, fruity, and softly seet depths.

THE CREATIVE PARTNERSHIP

The collaboration brought these perspectives together through a shared sensory experience.
