Etat Libre d'Orange Experimentum Crucis Eau De Parfum 100 ml

Legend has it that an apple fell from a tree on Newton's head—and thus the theory of universal gravitation was born. But imagine a different scene: Newton, asleep under a rose bush. And instead of an apple, a flower fell, a huge rose, a fragrant, plump rose. Would he have perceived it? Would he have buried his face in the heart of the flower? And what would this have meant for his theory?

This perfume: a chypre! It's a very precise and clean formula, like something that falls on you, sudden and direct. And it never leaves you. A scent trail that lasts. Akigalawood and patchouli for a honeyed rose.

Newton, sorry! Your crucial experience showed us that colors are not characteristics of objects, but properties of light. Now we know, thanks to you, that white light is a mixture of rays with the shades of the rainbow. You also showed us that just because an object is red doesn't mean we see it as red. If it appears red to our visual perception, it's because, when illuminated by a white light source (for example, sunlight), its surface absorbs all the colored light rays that compose it, EXCEPT the red ones.

So forgive us if we were inspired by your Experimentum Crucis! You have been a source of inspiration and criticism for so many. And since your theory has changed our worldview, we sought to create a fragrance that will change the world.

Woody, Chypre
