Fleur Cachée EDP

Princess Tzacopontziza, meaning “Morning Star,” was so beautiful that her parents entrusted her to the goddess of crops and subsistence, who vowed to take care of her and preserve her virginity. But one day, while Morning Star was picking flowers in her garden, she met Zcotan-oxga, meaning “Young Buck.” The two lovers soon fled deep into the forest to the mountains, so the wrathful goddess sent forth her priests to punish the sinful lovers. Upon discovering the lovers entwined at the mountain, the priests sacrificed them. From the blood of Young Deer grew a shrub, and from that of Morning Star emerged a long, climbing vine, which wrapped itself around the trunk of the shrub. Thus caxixanath, Fleur Cachée, the hidden flower, was born.

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
