Open a new scented path, beyond light and gravity !
A wake as powerful as gravity, as le'ger as light.
Newton, forgive us!


Legend has it that Newton received an apple on his head: and the'ory of universal attraction unfolds... We're more inclined to imagine that the man fell asleep under a rosebush. What if, instead of an apple, Newton had received a rose on his head? Universal attraction would certainly be different! A full, fleshy, pink e'norme. Would he have felt it, eyes closed, plunging his face into the heart of the flower? A parfum of attraction: A chypre! And a very direct, very sharp formula, like something that comes crashing down on you. And it won't let you go. A seductive wake. Akigalawood and patchouli for a honeyed rose.

Newton, forgive us! Your Crucial Experiment demonstrated that colors are not characteristics of objects, but properties of light. We now know, thanks to you, that white light is a mixture of rainbow-hued rays. You've also shown us that just because an object IS red doesn't mean we see it as red. If it appears red to our visual perception, it's because, when we illuminate it with a white light source, such as the sun's rays, its surface absorbs all the colored rays of light that make it up, EXCEPT the red ones, which it reflects back to our eye instead of absorbing.

So, forgive us for taking our inspiration from you Experimentum Crucis For the radical vigor of our parfum transposes to the olfactory the way it has upset our vision of the world. Show less
