Own your space
Space Fluid is an independent perfume house that seeks to push the boundaries of pleasure.
It combines old perfumery traditions with modern technology to create a unique but wearable fragrance that offers the opportunity to experience perfumes' historical significance as mood shifters, meditative anchors, gateways to the transcendental.
Touch the invisible
There is our scent, our fluidum, the space-time story of our lives. But our invisible scent holds more than just our present.
Space Fluid Theory sees time and space as fluid — but time flows one way, unlike space.
Space Fluid perfumes resist that flow. They let you drift through memory, emotion, forgotten corners of your own mind. Time-travel by scent.
The most emotional sense is smell.
We are surrounded with new laboratory aromas in products, yet investigations have shown that our ancestors' scents still live in us.

Make our infinite universe even bigger
Our minds respond to scents we no longer meet in daily life — hay, clay, rain, horse fur, greased machines, fresh flour, storm-soaked decks, sweat, firewood, apple cellars, dusty carpets…
Space Fluid distills these elements into scent.
Familiar, yet unseen.
Raw fragments of memory, place, and instinct — the kind we all carry inside.
The Nose
of Space Fluid perfumes is Marketa Maf.
She is a best-selling writer and visual artist based in Prague and New York (under her artistic nickname here). In her two award-winning books, she popularizes science—physics and biology—through fiction.
After years of inhaling strange aromas, collecting rare materials, and studying their emotional impact, it was only a matter of time before botany and chemistry took center stage.
She spent years searching for a scent that didn’t exist — so she made it.
Inspired by the new wave of indie perfumers in Europe and the U.S., she began creating what she couldn't find anywhere else.
Self-taught and trained in London and Grasse, she now brings her own olfactive philosophy to life.
Perfumes that don’t smell like perfume. But like life.
Raw, emotional, natural. Made from rare botanicals, not cheap synthetics.
Scents that guide you to paradise — by taking you through the mud of the real.
For paradise exists only in contrast to hell.
Perfect for those who don’t like perfume.
Or rather — don’t like the ordinary kind.
The scent is like a painting, but it's invisible
"I wish I could feel like a cafe-free organism floating in the depths of space, leaving behind the static of our visually overloaded world.
Eyes closed. Floating. Inhaling news. What a privilege to be alive and to connect with space through my breath..."
What is the image of a scent?
It has volume. Mood. Maybe color.
Maybe even a body or a face. It can be portrayed.
Marketa Maf hand-paints every Space Fluid bottle — each one a unique artwork, interpreting the scent as a plant, a deep-sea creature, a cloud of dust, or a newborn galaxy.
She spent six years building this world.
Formulas tested on herself and friends.
Flacons painted by hand. A box engineered from scratch. A site coded.
No agencies. No corporate backing.
Today’s perfumes are mass-produced in labs.
The real money goes to ads, not ingredients.
The "spirit" is a marketing firm.
The "face" is a celebrity with no connection to the scent.
But it wasn’t always like this. In the Renaissance, perfumery stood beside sculpture and painting — a fine art.
That’s what Space Fluid returns to.
One author. One vision. From idea to formula to hand-filled, hand-painted bottle — no logos, no printing, no factory.
Refills are possible
Every flacon is refillable.
You can send it back or bring it in — the artwork remains, the scent is renewed.
Painting prices vary — ranging from minimal sketches to intricate, fully detailed pieces.
Art you can wear. Again and again.
The Ingredients
are generally natural, smell realistic, and stimulate the mind like aromatherapy.
We choose precious absolutes including rare archival sandalwood and wild jungle oud over synthetic substitutes for their authenticity, uniqueness and depth.
Space Fluid uses some great molecules too, but mostly to balance and support the natural ones as the main voice of each song.
Raw materials are sourced from France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Scents are hand-blended in Prague, following laboratory evaluation in Germany.
No colorants, no animal-derived civet or deer musk. All formulas comply with IFRA and EU regulations.
The base is pure, food-grade alcohol — thirteen times more expensive than standard denatured alcohol, but free from unnecessary chemicals.
This choice supports both health and the perfume’s evolution.
When stored properly — away from heat, sunlight, humidity, and temperature swings — the scent matures beautifully, like fine cognac.
Since the time of the alchemists, the world has grown — but fields of fragrant plants have diminished. Natural ingredients are rare and costly. But their value speaks for itself.
If Space Fluid resonates, feel free to share it — in any space you choose. The goal is to keep using exceptional materials, not to redirect resources toward advertising.
Retailers:
Stéle, 179 Mott Street, Soho-Nolita, New York, USA
Scent Split, Houston, USA
You can smell and test Space Fluid perfumes in the DSC Gallery in Prague. Space Fluid is occasionally offered at exhibitions, private parties, pop-up stores, or by appointment in addition to the e-shop.
The Accessories
Accessories aren’t essential. But they’re joyful.
And really — is anything more essential than beauty and joy?
Space Fluid perfumes come in two editions, each packed in a box designed to protect it in your bag or suitcase.
The aluminum box is lightweight and free with the purchase of any perfume.
Another alternative is a special limited edition (257 pieces) of vintage stainless steel boxes. They are the original 1963–1985 military boxes that belonged to the Czechoslovak Army.
They spent decades in storage, waiting to be transformed — repurposed to carry scent instead of weapons.
You can be their first peacekeeper, bringing scented joy and beauty instead of stinky war.
The perfume in this unbreakable, massive army box is as safe on your table, in your bag, or in your luggage, as it would be in the middle of a gunfight.
Make your own space
everywhere you go
The goal is simple: create a scent that feels real.
As if the skin itself smells like this — not because of perfume, but because of something deeper.
Some people smell incredible thanks to their hormones, joy, diet, lifestyle, or climate.
That’s the energy Space Fluid aims for.
Not "What are you wearing?" but
"You smell amazing."
Not "Nice makeup!" but
"You look amazing."
Space Fluid doesn’t smell like perfume — it smells like life.
Beer. Wine. Celery. Lovage. Damp earth. Cellars. Cheese. Gasoline. Motor oil.
It’s not made to impress.
It’s made to move you.
Own your space.
With Space Fluid.
