Perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour's L’Entropiste brand has launched Festin, a new unisex woody leather fragrance.
Intensely powerful, deliberately excessive, Festin is the scent of one who dares. We do not know where he comes from; we only sense that he has nothing to lose. The lingering trail of a moment when chaos becomes beauty, when the smoke of glowing embers meets the opulence of the rarest essences. Festin. The fragrance for those who live as if there were no tomorrow.
Rome burns. The feast goes on. Outside, flames devour the city. But inside Nero’s palace, time has stood still: the feast overflows, and the emperor himself casts precious essences upon the guests’ heated bodies. Gold and sensuality will dance until dawn.
Festin opens with the dark flesh of blackberry, stirred by a truffle accord and a saline touch of caviar. At the heart, shagreen leather stretches like a precious hide. Then the base ignites: deep, animalic oud entwines with ambergris.
L’Entropiste Festin is available in 50 (€248) and 100 (€338) ml Eau de Parfum.

AI much?
Beats making humans write this stuff.
I’ve liked a fair bit of this line but the price feels more excessive than the fragrances. I would wear bottles of White Blood and Altamura if they fell out of the sky though.
Sadly can’t remember if I tried any!
Thank you for telling me about your experience working in a perfume shop. I can imagine that the customer service aspect would be trying at times and I love your comment about extraits. Hilarious! I guess there’s always the attar!
“Deliberately excessive” still sounds bad no matter who or what wrote it.
