SALLE PRIVÉE Le Temps Perdu Eau de Parfum (EdP) 30ml

Literally "the lost time," Le Temps Perdu expresses nostalgia and timelessness. It refers to Marcel Proust's most significant work—a multi-volume novel—where memory, particularly the role of smell, is a central theme. Le Temps Perdu guides you on a path of contemplative self-discovery, helping you understand who you were, who you are now, and who you might one day become.

Proust asserts that when we are born, the shelves of our library are empty, and they expand through experiences and the memories they create. He refers to the captivating scent of a madeleine that evokes childhood memories, contrasting involuntary memory with voluntary recollection. The latter is memory invoked by intelligent thought, in contrast to involuntary memory, which suddenly penetrates your mind. This is what we aimed to create with Le Temps Perdu—a scent for a lifetime, welcoming you to your personal library.

Le Temps Perdu is a minimalist and slightly animalistic unisex fragrance composition. It’s an addictive and seductive Eau de Parfum that radiates richness and elegance, one that Proust would have worn today. Ambrette, ambroxan, and Iso E Super stand out in the scent, embodying a lustful yearning.
