Seized
A limited fragrance created for Te Wiki Āhua o Aotearoa Spring/Summer 2025.
The sensory rush of the fashion underground, captured in scent.
Seized was created as a nostalgic keepsake of Te Wiki Āhua o Aotearoa Spring/Summer 2025 — the sweat, pressure, passion, movement, and electricity that lives behind the runway.
It is not a clean memory.
It is not polished from a distance.
It is the feeling of being inside it.
Smoke-infused leather.
Packed venues.
Lingering soju.
Hairspray fog.
Steamed garments.
Stress sweat.
Caffeine haze.
Each fleeting moment, held in the spray of a fragrance.
Created with Āhua
Curated with the Āhua team, Seized is an ode to a collective experience — the energy backstage, the charged silence before a look walks, the residue of a night that stays on your skin.
Only 100 bottles were made.
Each bottle was poured and finished by hand in Aotearoa, New Zealand by Sok Studios.
Made with the same care as a sewn garment, Seized carries a story beyond words.
The Scent
Top Notes
Earl Grey
A subtle nod to the addictive pull of caffeine — sharp, familiar, and wired.
Middle Notes
Salt, Blackberry, Heliotrope, Galbanum, Civet Cat
Smooth, cloudy, sticky, and instinctive.
A strange softness beneath the chaos.
Base Notes
Tobacco, Ambrette, Underground Atmosphere
Sultry, smoky, daring.
The scent of grit, heat, and staying power.
A Fragrance Beyond Labels
This collaboration between Sok Studios and Āhua is an artful composition.
Like any engagement with art, we believe fragrance is not defined by gender.
The way you experience an artwork is shaped by feeling, memory, and perspective — not by who you are expected to be.
Seized was made for the senses, not for labels.
Limited Edition Archive
Seized was released as an exclusive made-to-order fragrance, limited to 100 bottles.
This page exists as an archive of the collaboration between Sok Studios and Āhua, and as a record of a scent created for a moment that could not be repeated.
Much like Āhua, it lingers.
And it is addictively hard to let go of.
Please Note
Due to the use of Ambrette, a material with lower solubility, some natural separation or clouding may occur, especially with exposure to sunlight.
This does not affect the scent or shelf life of the perfume.
Simply shake before use if separation occurs.
