The Afternoon Of A Faun
The Classics - The Afternoon Of A Faun - Did I love a dream?
The faun awakes from his mid day sleep and contemplates his morning’s encounters with some nymphs. In his reflections, his pursuit of the alluring creatures takes on libidinous proportions as he seeks to satisfy his desire. It is a beautiful memory—but did it really happen?Reality fades, and confusion reigns unti lover come by sleep—which can open the door to more dreaming.
The carnal subtext of Mallarmé’s poem became an explicit expression of a sexual appetite. When Nijinsky danced the story, he created a scandal. The critics called it ‘shameless’. In this scent, find the relationship between the suggestive fantasy and the seductive reality.
TOP: Bergamot, Cinnamon, Incense
HEART: Rose, Iris, Jasmin
BASE: Myrrh, Leather, Benzoin
