On August 30th, Felix Meritis hosted Troshi Mangona – The Golden Yellow Flesh. Among music, film, and performance, Marcus Elizabeth transformed the Shaffyzaal with an installation that blended perfume with artifacts, a meeting of scent, design, and memory.
Two days of creation
The installation took two days to prepare. Tables were draped in custom cloth printed with the Marcus Elizabeth anagram pattern, creating a rhythm of symbols that echoed the house’s identity. Suspended above, garments and flowers hovered like constellations, while violet and blue light wrapped the room in a meditative glow.
A shared ritual of memory
Visitors explored the full perfume collection, each fragrance opening a doorway into memory. Their responses were intimate and unexpected:
A mother’s perfume, remembered like an embrace.
The warmth of Aruba, home recalled through scent.
Childhood, vivid and close.
What began as a presentation evolved into a quiet dialogue between fragrance and feeling, a shared ritual of memory and discovery.
Sharing the house's vision
Alongside perfumes, the installation presented the Marcus Elizabeth Artifacts collection, including clothing, bags, and jewellery. For the first time, two new pieces were unveiled: a natural pearl necklace and a natural pearl bracelet. Displayed with the current collection, these artifacts marked an expansion of the house’s vision, objects shaped for ritual, designed with intention, and crafted to last.
Living with intention
Marcus Elizabeth is more than a perfume house. It is an invitation to live with intention, to weave scent, craft, and story into daily life. At Felix Meritis, that philosophy came alive in a room where fragrance met fabric, where jewellery caught the light, and where the anagram cloth anchored it all, a quiet but powerful signature of identity.
