Etat Libre d`Orange The Afternoon of a Faun的靈感來源於斯特凡•馬拉美的詩歌《牧神的午後》，詩中講述的是潘神，也稱牧神，在慵懶的午後所發生的事，以致於讓潘神懷疑“DID I LOVE A DREAM？“。而且詩中描繪的無不是潘神對擁有美好肉體的仙女的渴望，象徵著人類的原始慾望。可惜最後潘神的自責和夢境的消散，意味著對慾望的壓制。燃燒的慾望和被壓制的慾望，形成強大的對立面和互相衝撞。既然分不清現實還是夢境，為何不選擇陶醉在其中呢？
在還沒查閱過關於《牧神的午後》的資料時，第一次聞它，對它辛辣的香氣感到驚詫，按道理說午後不是應該給人悠閒自在的感覺嗎？那應該選擇花香，茶香，抑或是美食香來表達這一主題吧？但在我查閱了各種資料之後，明白了這是慾望的午後，情慾湧動的夢境，才對辛辣馥奇香調釋懷。
若是以慾望和詩歌《牧神的午後》的角度去看，便會很好理解Etat Libre d`Orange The Afternoon of a Faun中香味的變化。在茉莉和玫瑰的花香基礎上，檸檬的味道先出現，很快就慢慢地滲進胡椒和肉桂的微妙辛辣刺激感。不久後，出現一股我從未聞過的很特別的花香，估計是不凋花和鳶尾組合在一起，而且雜糅著橡木苔的濕潤而顯得穿透力較好，被軟化的皮革也很好地隱藏在中間。慢慢地，略帶草本氣息的藥感樹脂愈來愈濃厚，各種香氣都被樹脂的味道圍繞著，但花香比較突出，且辛辣的感覺一直都存在，無法令人忽視，很具有濃郁的異域風情。也許是因為有焚香在，即使香氣辛辣濃厚，還是有點飄渺迷離的味道在其中。最後，各種氣息逐漸淡去，帶有微微陳舊感覺的樹脂作為結尾，一直綿延到消失。
整體的香氣就像是美好的夢境開始，情慾與壓制的矛盾情感在衝撞，略微沉重的氣息告知夢境消散，歸於平靜。而且拋開詩歌的背景來談，它還是一支不錯的辛辣調香水，中間花香和草本藥感之間的變化明顯，溫暖濃郁之餘，神秘虛幻的味道非常特別。
This is a dream about love, mysterious, illusory, blurred, and intoxicating.
Etat Libre d'Orange The Afternoon of a Faun is inspired by the poem "Afternoon of a Faun" by Stefan Mallarmé, which tells about what happened to Pan, also known as the Faun, on a lazy afternoon. So much so that Pan God doubts "DID I LOVE A DREAM?". And what the poem depicts is Pan's desire for a fairy with a beautiful body, which symbolizes the primitive desire of human beings. It's a pity that in the end Pan's self-blame and the disappearance of the dream meant the suppression of desire. The burning desire and the suppressed desire form powerful opposites and collide with each other. Since you can't tell the difference between reality and dreams, why not choose to indulge in it?
When I hadn't checked the information about "Afternoon of the Faun", I smelled it for the first time and was surprised by its spicy aroma. Shouldn't it be reasonable to say that the afternoon should give people a feeling of leisure and comfort? Should you choose floral, tea, or gourmet fragrance to express this theme? But after I checked various materials, I realized that this is the afternoon of desire, a dream surging with passion, and I let go of the spicy Fuqi fragrance.
If you look at it from the point of view of desire and the poem "Afternoon of a Faun", the change of aroma in Etat Libre d'Orange The Afternoon of a Faun can be well understood. On the floral base of jasmine and rose, lemon notes emerge first, slowly leaching into the subtle spicy kick of pepper and cinnamon. Soon after, there was a very special floral fragrance that I have never smelled before. It is estimated that the combination of non-withered flowers and iris, and mixed with the moistness of oak moss, seems to penetrate better, and the softened leather is also very good. hidden in the middle. Slowly, the medicinal resin with a slightly herbal smell became stronger and stronger, and all kinds of aromas were surrounded by the smell of resin, but the floral aroma was more prominent, and the spicy feeling always existed, which cannot be ignored. It is very rich. exotic. Maybe it's because of the burning incense, even though the aroma is spicy and strong, there is still a bit of an ethereal taste in it. In the end, all kinds of scents gradually faded away, and the resin with a slightly old feeling ended, and it continued until it disappeared.
The overall aroma is like the beginning of a beautiful dream, the conflict between lust and repression is colliding, and the slightly heavy breath tells the dream to dissipate and return to peace. And aside from the background of poetry, it is still a good spicy perfume, with obvious changes between floral and herbal in the middle, warm and rich, mysterious and illusory taste is very special.
This is the afternoon of the shepherd.
