Le 8

LE 8 In the Chinese culture, the serpent represents transformation and intelligence, patience, wisdom and mystery. The number 8 suggests the bucket of infinity. A leap into infinity. What could be more inspiring than working with these 2 values added to a great country of thousand years old, with its many specific features and distinctive characteristics. With his 8, the designer sets off into a new land of symbols, imagination and daring. "This creation, this 'ruby and gold' snake, gives me a new platform, the chance to express my attraction for adventure, the kind that leads to the Far East, to an ancestral China with stamped formulas. This perfume is a controlled extravagance, it's theatrical.” "I wanted a fragrance with strong, powerful accents, but also one that was slow and traditional. I embarked on a kind of personification, slipping into many skins, those of a warrior, a wise man, a courtesan, like a studio actor in a film, as if caught up in using scents that seemed stereotyped. This new snake is a kind of joyful introspection, a carnival, an anthology of preconceived ideas that had to be married without forcing them.” "Ce 8 est une nouvelle liberté, une sorte de transfert amoureux. C’est un serment, une promesse tenue, une extrême obligeance.” Fragrance Notes: Top Notes: Bergamot – Yuzu – Madagascar Cypress – Cinnamon Leaf – Hibiscus Heart Notes: Ho Wood (Camphorwood) – Lacquer Accord – Marco Polo Tea – Strawberry Tree – Cherry Blossom – Peony Base Notes: Leathery Saffron – Tonka Bean – Amber Xtrem – Sandalwood – Vanilla Infusion 50mL Extrait de Parfum Perfumed by Stephan Humbert Lucas
