Sensory Collaboration

Some collaborations begin with product.
This one began with atmosphere.

Ocean By Dusk is a limited-edition collaboration between Our Projects and Flipflop and Treacle, a meeting of scent, place, and coastal ritual shaped by the shifting energy of evening by the sea.

Created in Bali, this collaboration explores the moment the day begins to dissolve. The heat softens. Salt stays on the skin. Light lowers. The ocean remains, but differently. What was bright becomes grounded. What was open becomes intimate. Ocean By Dusk captures that transition through fragrance, object, and experience.

At Our Projects, we treat fragrance as a sensory language, not a fixed formula. For this collaboration, that meant translating the emotional texture of the coastline at dusk into something wearable, tactile, and lasting. Not a literal marine scent. Not a postcard version of the beach. Something more nuanced, mineral air, fading warmth, softened skin, the trace of sunlight, the quiet pull of evening.

The result is a fragrance that feels both expansive and close. Familiar, yet difficult to place. Designed not to imitate the ocean, but to echo what remains after time spent beside it.

Flipflop and Treacle brings its own distinct sensibility to the collaboration, playful, considered, and deeply connected to coastal life. Together, the two brands create a shared world shaped by tropical atmosphere, shifting light, and the understated beauty of dusk.

This is what makes Ocean By Dusk more than a product collaboration. It is a study in mood. A shared interpretation of the coastline. A limited-edition piece built around sensory memory, evening warmth, and the beauty of transition.

The collaboration sits naturally within the wider Our Projects universe, where fragrance is layered, experiential, and always open to reinterpretation. Like many of our scent experiments, Ocean By Dusk exists between categories. Fresh, but not sharp. Coastal, but not aquatic. Warm, but not heavy. It lives in the in-between.

For those discovering Our Projects through this collaboration, Ocean By Dusk offers an entry point into our approach to fragrance, design, and sensory storytelling in Bali. For those already familiar with our work, it extends our ongoing exploration of how scent can hold time, place, and emotional atmosphere all at once.

Ocean By Dusk is the coast after brightness.

The sea after heat.

A lingering impression of Bali, carried into evening.
