‘I cannot distance myself from this cold, powdery white girl. And yet, in the snow that is both longed for and hated, I see the avalanche approaching. Given the intensity of the white blossoms, the coolness sets in abruptly, but the scent of frangipani softens it. A hint of almond, most delicious directly on the skin!’ — Serge Lutens
A contradictory fragrance creation between darkness and hope. On the one hand, restricted freedom of speech, imprisoned thoughts and forms of expression – a threat to creativity. The human soul is trapped within these walls and is persecuted and punished at the slightest misstep. And on the other hand, a window to freedom opens. Through the bars, a new-found freedom emerges, comforting, promising and tangible in the round, sweet notes of frangipani, almond and ylang-ylang. A sunny fragrance that unfolds most deliciously directly on the skin.
La Dompteuse
If only you could see me, huddled in this armchair, detached from time and space, trying to reach an agreement or a quarrel with this woman, the dompteuse, whom I have locked in a cage. I had no other choice. Is she a saint? Or a whore? I cannot escape this daughter of Proteus. Her determination is like marble: cold and powder white. At the same time, I can feel the snow! Feared and anticipated at the same time – an avalanche rolling towards me.
The animal trainer — In your world, the language you use is like writing in invisible ink. Its meaning becomes visible when held up to a flame.
Me — You're right; otherwise it remains hidden.
Me — Give me back my freedom!
The Tamer — Oh, please, not freedom! What do you want with it? Imagine you, such a passionate enthusiast, convinced of your uniqueness, as part of the ordinary crowd?
Me — You're hinting at the solution: block out the past, leave it to amnesia.
The Tamer — We would be united in death!
I — Forever?
The Tamer — In good times and bad.
The fragrance story
The captive tamer is not a real person. She embodies the language of certain people who imprison themselves through their form of activism, leaving no room for the individual. Regain your free will, develop self-confidence, dare to be yourself – even if the masses believe you are wrong. Perhaps then you will succeed in catching a single cloud in the blue sky ... And regain access to the beauty of the world.
