The scent of a freshly broken sapling - its raw, green life spilling out - marks the rupture between the natural and the artificial. From that wound, the fragrance transforms: fresh wood is lacquered and gilded, raw earth is masked by velvet and polish. Ornament replaces the elemental; excess drowns out the wild. A whisper of iron lingers, like a drop of blood at the moment of departure. This is a fragrance that reflects the protagonist’s belief that anything nature can do, man can do better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'PingFang MO Light'; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eThis is nature - undone and reimagined.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eTop\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003ePink Pepper, Lemon, Juniper, Green, Metal\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHeart\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eJasmine, Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Lacquer\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eBase\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eMusk, Vetiver, Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis perfume is set in an organic alcohol base and does not contain any animal by-products.

The last scion of an aristocratic family, Des Esseintes loathes nineteenth-century bourgeois society and tries to retreat into an ideal artistic world of his own creation.
