THE INSPIRATION WE GOT FROM THE LINES
Il est tard et déjà dans l’ombre et dans le vent, un cri monte avec la nuit.
It’s late, and already a scream rises in the shadow and wind, along with the night.
Je n’attends personne, plus personne, pas même un souvenir.
Time has long passed, but this scream, carried by the wind and pulling everything before it, comes from farther away, higher, deeper than a dream.
L’heure est passée depuis longtemps, mais ce cri que le vent porte et chasse devant lui vient de plus loin, de plus haut qu’un rêve.
Time has long passed, but this scream carried by the wind, pulling everything in its path, comes from farther away, higher, deeper than a dream
Je n’attends personne, et voici la nuit couronnée de feux de tous les yeux des morts silencieux.
I’m not waiting for anyone, here is the night, crowned with the fires emerging from the eyes of silent dead.
Et tout ce qui devait disparaître, tout ce qui était perdu, il faut le retrouver encore plus haut qu’un rêve vers la nuit.
And all that must be lost, all that is lost, we must find it higher than the dream, into the night.
Philippe Soupault, one of the pioneers of surrealism in French literature, is known for his exploration of stream of consciousness and the ambiguity between dream and reality. In his poem Vers la nuit, he delves into the loss of time and memories within a melancholic atmosphere.
Philippe Soupault
Philippe Soupault’s Vers la nuit evokes lost memories and emotions deep within the night. Our perfume, following the trace of this poem, begins with citrus and gourmand notes, like a whisper from the past (“Je n’attends personne, pas même un souvenir.”). The patchouli and woody accords in the heart notes leave a layered and profound feeling, like memories carried by the wind.
We capture the magic of the night that envelops all the senses with the warmth of amber, musk, and vanilla in the base notes (“voici la nuit couronnée de feux.”). Just as the poem leaves a lasting impact like a scream echoing through the night, this fragrance also leaves an unforgettable mark on the skin.
The perfume deepens with amber, musk, and vanilla. These notes are the components that cling to the skin the longest and determine the longevity of the fragrance. The warmth of amber, the softness of musk, and the sweet touch of vanilla make the scent alluring and intoxicating. It also promises a balsamic and intense woody-musk finish.

It opens with gourmand (sweet, food-like) and mandarin notes. This is the first aspect of the fragrance you sense, typically providing a fresh, energetic start. Since it also contains aromatic and citrus tones, it leaves a refreshing and invigorating effect
Patchouli and woody notes take over. This is the heart of the fragrance, usually defining its character. While patchouli gives a deep, slightly spicy and earthy feel, the woody notes add warmth and naturalness.
