DRIFT

A Film by Stefan Armbruster & Eliah Tamino Willmann

A new edition in our ongoing collaboration with renowned photographer Stefan Armbruster, created in dialogue with filmmaker Eliah Tamino Willmann.

Drift explores the subtle threshold between sleep and waking. Inspired by the PEACE IN THE WILD fragrance SLEEP, the film moves through two delicate states of consciousness, from the fluid landscape of dreams to the quiet moment when awareness returns.

Soft, shifting imagery by Eliah Tamino Willmann evokes the atmosphere of night. A second sequence, filmed by Stefan Armbruster in the early morning hours on a road trip through Namibia, lingers in the in-between, when the world is still suspended between darkness and day.

A Film Released on the Spring Equinox

Released on the Spring Equinox, Drift resonates with a deeper symbolic movement. The Equinox marks the moment when day and night meet in perfect balance, a turning of the year toward light long associated with renewal and awakening.

This moment reflects the transition the film explores — a passage from rest to awareness, from darkness into light.

The Fragrance Behind the Film

In this spirit, Drift echoes the essence of SLEEP, a natural fragrance by PEACE IN THE WILD designed to support calm, relaxation, and restful sleep.

Crafted by master perfumers using 100% pure essential oils of therapeutic grade, SLEEP gently scents the space with soft floral, warm woody, and subtly sweet notes. The composition creates a deeply relaxing atmosphere, helping to quiet the senses and prepare body and mind for rest.

Scent, Film, and Atmosphere

The collaboration between Stefan Armbruster and PEACE IN THE WILD explores how scent can be translated into visual language. Each film interprets the character of a fragrance through photography and moving image, creating a multi-sensory experience that connects atmosphere, perception, and emotion.

Drift is part of this evolving visual journey — an exploration of natural fragrance, contemporary art, and the subtle rituals that shape how a space feels.
