la nuit des 300 - 100ml

“The story of the Sacred Band made me think of the 300 Spartans: brothers in arms, full of courage and desire. I wanted to capture that mix of metal and skin. A light aldehydic note gives the shine of armor at dusk, when the mountains release the day’s heat. Around it, lavender and artemisia bring the scent of wild herbs, brightened by a spark of bergamot. Then the warmth arrives: deep musks, creamy sandalwood and soft ambered tonka bean for a signature that is strong, heroic and very sensual. For me, 'la nuit des 300' (The Night of the 300) is both a memory of battle and a hymn to desire.”

Thebes. On the eve of battle. The torches dim; the night closes in around them. Two men, shoulder to shoulder, share the same warmth, the same breath. Their closeness needs no words, it is already a vow.

The Sacred Band is not founded on arms, but on this quiet accord. We do not think of whom we face, but whom we hold.
