MANIFESTO

OBSESSED WITH STRUCTURE AND BOLD EXPRESSION, MAS RIVERA IMAGINED A WORLD WHERE DARKNESS COULD BE LIGHT. BLACK BECAME WHITE AND RED BECAME BLUE. SHE SEARCHED FOR A COMMON NORM AND ASKED LESS OF HER WORK. THE NOSTALGIA THAT AWAKES IN THE FORGOTTEN SETTING OF POST-COLONIAL TOWNS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA GAVE HER PEACE OF MIND.

MAS RIVERA IS FOCUSSED ON BRUTALIST ARCHITECTURE AND LONG FORGOTTEN POST-COLONIAL DYSTOPIA'S. THE BRANDS UNSETTLING PERFORMANCE IS DEFINED BY ITS INFORMAL USE OF BOLD SYMMETRY. CLEAR CUT LINES AND DARK LAYERED SCENT PROFILES COINED THE BRANDS FUNDAMENTAL VALUES. MAS RIVERA SEEKS REFUGE IN LINEAR AND SYMMETRICAL CREATIONS

TO DEFINE  A STANDARD NORM. MAS RIVERA ESTABLISHED HERSELF ON THE FOREFRONT OF CREATING TANGIBLE VALUE, BACKED BY THE SUPERIOR GRADE OF RAW MATERIALS, TECHNIQUES AND DETAIL IN PROCESSING. 

IN TIMES WHERE CHAOS BECAME THE REALITY, PROJECT MAS RIVERA PURSUES TO DECONSTRUCT COMMON PARADIGMS. SOCIETIES OBSESSION WITH EXCESS CONSUMERISM, INTANGIBLE VALUE, FAST-PACED LIFE AND ABNORMAL PROFITS. THE ONE SIDE CLUTTERED HER LIFE, WHEREAS THE OTHER DECONSTRUCTED IT. FINDING A FILIGREE PATH TO CO-EXIST BETWEEN BOTH BECAME HER PRIMARY OBJECTIVE.

MAS RIVERA SHOWCASES LONG LASTING NOTES AND DISCARDS THE NOTION OF CONVENTIONAL FRAGRANCE FORMULATIONS AND HIERARCHIES. A FINE BALANCE IN BETWEEN THE ACRID AND NARCOTIC CREATES DISTINCTIVE SYNERGIES, FORCING MATERIALS TO INTERTWINE AND BECOME ONE. ALL SCENTS ARE FRAGMENTS AND FACETS OF MAS RIVERA'S LARGER UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD.

ALL CREATIONS ARE PART OF PROJECT MAS RIVERA. DUE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF NATURAL RAW MATERIALS, COLORS AND APPEARANCE CHANGE ACCORDING TO SEASONALITY AND AVAILABILITY. MADE IN SMALL BATCHES AND CRAFTED BY HAND. MAS RIVERA'S PERFUME IS FOR ALL - FOR THE ARTIST, OUTSIDERS, POSH MOM'S, THINKERS AND CASHLESS FAILURES.
