Eau de Parfum

Fresh water evaporating off of the skin of couples making love in a sauna.

Minutes become moments, and frames become fragrance in this olfactive response to a scene somewhere between 00 : 38 : 22 — 00 : 45 : 37 in Post Tenebras Lux (After Light, Darkness) by Carlos Reygadas Barguín.

Tracing the body, the skin after a hot shower, minimal, deep, clean, fresh, ethereal.

Can a fragrance evoke sauna water evaporating off skin? In the hands of Antoine Lie, the answer is yes. This is the same nose/mind that brought us the polarizing and extremely influential Secretions Magnifiques (a now discontinued fragrance dedicated to exploring... all secretions from the human body). With Post Tenebras Lux, Lie’s expression of sauna sex is subtle, poetic and warm. An incredibly clear visage of fogged glass.

Hand-painted bottle with unique coloration and markings.
