A Chess Game of Scents: Remembering Vandro Casiwan x JZ Perfumery’s Imaginarium 2025

Ever walked into a space where the air itself hums fragrance with creativity? Imaginarium 2025 was IT. Last February 15th, the UP Fine Arts Gallery (Parola) was the place to be for the Vandro Casiwan x JZ Perfumery collab, and with Marc Quin’s vision bringing it all together, was pure magic. It was more than just a show; it was an EXPERIENCE.


The Inspiration
Vandro Casiwan’s Junior High collection, inspired by the strategic depth of chess, provided the perfect canvas for JZ Perfumery’s distinctive creations. Each scent captured the energy of a chess piece. From the commanding presence of the KING, captured in a rich, powerful scent. Unto the strategic brilliance of the QUEEN, whose fragrance is elegantly done. The ROOK, a well grounded and strong perfume, PAWN, the unpretentious that embodies quiet strength. KNIGHT with an unpredictable and agile smell, and the BISHOP with a figure of quiet elegance and refined beauty.

The Vibe Check
Picture this. You walk into a space that smells as good as it looks. The Imaginarium 2025 runway was THE NEXT LEVEL. You heard it right! Models moved with grace and purpose, each leaving a trail of different fragrance that refined the entire experience. It was a beautiful reminder of how scent can transport you— of how it can tell a story.


The Recap
Imaginarium 2025 might be over, but the scents are forever. These six perfumes are available in 50ml and 10ml bottles. They’re an invitation to own one of this extraordinary collaboration. Grab ’em before they’re gone!
