Bois Lumiere EDP

Somewhere under a blazing sun, in a garrigue scenery so dry it is ready to burst into flames, someone in love lazily takes a sunbath, heating their skin under the Mediterranean sun. This is a story of tanned bodies and ablaze landscapes, of dazzling light that makes you squint. It spreads on your skin like thick honey on a languorous wooden background. From the sea far away, a dry, hot breeze rises, a desert wind of Immortelle flower blowing on your dreamy skin for hours.

Ingredients:  Corsican Juniper, Clary Sage, Mandarin, Fir Balsam, Honey, Rose, Carnatio, Immortelle, Beeswax, Atlas Cedar, Benzoin

As his name suggests, Anatole was born in Brittany, in the countryside, by the sea, nurtured by epics stories, tales and legends.

“Among the five senses, smell is the one that is closest to our primal instincts and to our animal share. Smelling is a wild and free act, a way to touch the world, and to be touched by it. The art of smelling is somehow a bit raw, barbarian, and never quite tamed. On the other hand, though, without perfume I am naked, without adornment.

I create perfumes that dress you up and unveil you at the same time, inviting to connect with the primal and the carnal. I like it when you feel a heart beating, when it is moving and thrilling, when there’s fantasy and mystery.

My perfumes are like me, they are alive. They tell stories and beckon you to travel, to return to origins, to sensations. I see them as landscapes, or daydreams. Creating a perfume, or wearing it for that matter, is like an exploration and a journey, be a conqueror and be conquered at the same time. To put on perfume means having imagination, it’s like this little additional olfactory je ne sais quoi that brings magic to life.” Anatole
