A sensual demonstration of virility, Etat Libre d' Orange Afternoon of a Faun Eau de Parfum is a fragrance dedicated to the faun, a passionate, mythical creature. Inspired by the relationship between suggestive fantasy & seductive reality, this fragrance explores the carnal subtext of Mallarme's poem La Faune, & the scandalous ballet danced by Nijinsky. Half lucid & half in dream, the Faun cannot help but be allured by the forest nymphs. As the he lies bathed in sunlight, he does not know whether the encounter was fact or fancy. A spirited opening of bergamot is made sensual with pepper & incense, while a heart of rose, jasmine & orris is joined with the languorous beauty of the immortal flower. The enveloping dry down of Namibian myrrh, moss, leather & benzoin evokes the earthy sensuality of the forest & its hidden delights. Top Notes: Bergamot, Pepper, Incense Heart Notes: Rose, Immortal Flower, Orris, Jasmine Base Notes: Namibian Myrrh, Moss, Leather, Benzoin ...

Give free reign to love & desire with the Etat Libre d' Orange True Lust Eau de Parfum Spray, a floral infatuation of animalic allure for him & her. Inspired by the merger of amorous minds & destructive hearts, this dangerously alluring scent sparks a powerful infusion of unstoppable temptation. Capturing the sensual beauty of a convoluted story of chaos that entraps your mind, body & soul, this evocative scent is as enticing as rose-red lips & bright violet eyes. It captures the perils of this romantic folly with an olfactory explosion, dazzling & delighting the senses with a dominating veil of poetic beauty, from which you simply cannot escape. This stimulating scent combines the compelling powers of seductive rose & violets with contradictory, hazardous notes of rum & patchouli, arousing an exquisite rhythm of jeopardy. Hazy rum spiced with a punch of ginger opens the fragrance, whilst delicate violet revolves around exotic coconut, sparking a volatile affair. The playful floral heart of osmanthus & ylang-ylang tempt the deep base of ambergris & leather, creating a vulnerable concoction of passion & lust. Top Notes: Rum, Ginger, violet, Rose, Coconut. Heart Notes: Osmanthus, Lilly Of The Valley, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Mandarin. Base Notes: Ambergris, Leather, Rice, Sandalwood. ...

Notes: Composition: Bergamot, nutmeg, pepper, cardamom, ylang ylang, tuberose, leather, animalis, costus, patchouli & vetyver. The arena was flooded with sun & the clamour of the crowd rose fromthe tiers like an offering. Where were we? In Sevilla? In Puerto Santa Maria? Definitely somewhere in Andalusia, where the stature & pride of men are compelling. On this particular Sunday of the month of May, the combat to be delivered did not have the aim of putting a bull to death. The intention was a sensuous ritual act: to confront animal-like notes with the influential power of a flower, one of the most odorant in the vegetal world, the tuberose. Wood, musk & costus, in daring, unreasonably abundant proportions, would once & for all bite the dust in this arena dedicated solely to the glory of men. In this openly sexual confrontation
- me the woman, you the man, one of the most blasphemous of men's perfumery, the purity of the tuberose is falsely innocent so that in appearance only, these macho reputed notes seem to be the only ones to be victorious. But smelling it tells a completely different story... the nose instinctively knows who the victor is: signed the Virgin & the Torero.
