Laime Kiskune LT

Laimė Kiškūnė is a Lithuanian perfumer working with natural materials. Her practice is grounded in long-term research and in Aromateka—a collection of over 1,000 rare natural ingredients sourced globally. Through her research she has reconstructed early perfume forms, including Cyprinum and Myrtinum, traced to ancient Babylon and Egypt.

Based in Vilnius, she develops her practice through an interactive studio and natural cosmetics laboratory, where her brand Unda Prisca brings together historical knowledge, contemporary olfactory and perfumery art forms, material precision and sustainability.

Since 2022, she has been a perfumer at Maison Goyard, while also collaborating with the French brand Call of the Valley, working across both heritage and contemporary contexts. Her work has been presented at the Venice Biennale, London Fashion Week, La Casa Encendida in Madrid, Carré d’Art in Nîmes. She engages with contemporary olfactory culture through exhibitions, collaborations, and teaching. Her natural rose face cream received the 2023 Beauty & You Innovation Prize by Estée Lauder. A graduate of the Natural Perfumery Institute, she is currently an Adjunct Professor at her alma mater.

She creates 100% natural, handcrafted fragrances that combine historical olfactory knowledge with contemporary material practice. Her work reflects a continuous dedication to the harmony between humans, plants, and nature.
