SALLE PRIVÉE Le Temps Perdu Eau de Parfum (EdP) 100ml

Le Temps Perdu literally means "the lost time," embodying nostalgia and timelessness. It references Marcel Proust's most notable work—a multi-volume novel that explores the role of memory, particularly as evoked through scent. Le Temps Perdu guides you on a journey of introspective self-discovery, helping you understand who you were, who you are now, and who you might become.

Proust argues that when we are born, the shelves of our library are empty, gradually filled with volumes created through experiences and the memories they evoke. The fragrance recalls the enchanting scent of a madeleine cake from his childhood, juxtaposing involuntary memory with voluntary recall. The latter is memory summoned by conscious thought, while involuntary memory suddenly floods your mind. This is what we aimed to capture with Le Temps Perdu—a fragrance for a lifetime, welcoming you to your personal library.

Le Temps Perdu is a minimalist and slightly animalic unisex composition. It's an addictive and alluring Eau de Parfum that exudes richness and elegance, something Proust would wear today. The notes of ambrette, ambroxan, and Iso E Super stand out, embodying a sensuous allure filled with desire.
