To poetry, dance, painting, music and Jacques Damase. A parfum in collaboration with Jacques Damase and Justin Vivian Bond, would like to celebrate the centenary of the Ballets Russes in Paris 1912 - 2012, and bring together in one bottle an ambition for synesthesia, where the poetry of Stéphane Mallarmé Prince of Poets, the dance of Vaslav Nijinsky, that bouncing madman of scandalous genius, the painting of Leon Bakst and the music of Claude Debussy would mingle. All very much alive here.

Here's the Faun. I've seen the Faun. The nymphs undress the Nymph for the bath. On his mound the Faun is interested. He mingles with the virginal troupe. The Faun and the Nymph are alone, face to face. The heat between them flickers. They consider each other. The agrarian beauty and the charming beast measure themselves. The young Faun regains the pride of his animal strength. A scarf, his scarf, remains on the grass. It is his prey. He clutches it, sniffs it, carries it onto his mat and wallows in it. \"Couple, farewell. I'm going to see the shadow you became.\" Jean Cocteau Comœdia, May 28, 1912.

Le Faune: \"Ces nymphes, je les veux perpétuer. So clear, Their light incarnate, that it flutters in the air, Drowsy with tufted slumbers. Did I love a dream? My doubt, heap of ancient night, ends, In this subtle branch, which, remained the true ones, Wood even, proves, alas! that quite alone I offered myself, For triumph the ideal fault of roses. Let us reflect... \" Stéphane Mallarmé Le Faune, 1876

\"Le Faune, c'est moi. \"

\"I want to live like a useless man\" Vaslav Nijinski
