SALLE PRIVÉE Le Temps Perdu Eau de Parfum (EdP) 12ml

Literally "the lost time," Le Temps Perdu expresses nostalgia and timelessness. It references Marcel Proust's most notable 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 argues that when we are born, the shelves of our library are empty, and they expand with volumes through experiences and the memories they create. He references the captivating scent of a madeleine that evokes memories from his childhood, contrasting involuntary memory with voluntary recollection. The latter is memory invoked by conscious thought, whereas involuntary memory 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.
