About the Product:
The Afternoon of a Faun is a bold, woody-chypre fragrance inspired by Nijinsky’s scandalous ballet, released by Etat Libre d’Orange in 2012. It layers bright bergamot and cinnamon over a heart of rose, iris, jasmine, and immortelle, drying down to a deep, resinous base of myrrh, leather, benzoin, moss, and incense—blurring the lines between fantasy and reality in a poetic, carnal scent narrative.
About the Bottle:
Presented in a minimalist rectangular flacon with golden juice and a silver cap, the aesthetic echoes the perfume’s elegant yet provocative character—modern storytelling in chic packaging.
About the Fragrance:
The opening is bright—a lively bergamot-rose interplay warmed by cinnamon and incense. The heart melds fresh florals with spicy, herbal immortelle and orris for a slightly bitter-sweet chypre tension. The dry-down is rich yet refined: leathery, resinous myrrh and benzoin with soft moss and deep oakmoss earthiness, creating a memorable, slightly animalic finish
