Etat Libre d'Orange The Afternoon of a Faun: In this scent, find the relationship between the suggestive fantasy and the seductive reality. A strong and almost opiated immortal flower that blurs the barrier between dreams and reality.
Inspired by the ballet choreographed by Vaslav Nijinsky for the Ballets Russes. First performed in 1912 and set to the score by Claude Debussy, The Afternoon of a Faun told the story of a faun who meets and teases a group of nymphs. The erotic subtext of the plot and the archaically styled dance ran so counter to classical dance that it caused a scandal. The fragrance is a nod to classical perfumery–it is rich, warm and enveloping.
