ETAT LIBRE D'ORANGE NOSTOS

NOSTOS, where Achilles is more beautiful than Odysseus.

Nostos in Greek means Return: an impossible return, speaking to the heart and imagination, a return where space and time meet, and hope resides.
But Nostos is also the root of the word nostalgia, that poignant feeling which is the ache of Nostos.
Perfume is the vehicle for this return we aspire to in vain. Like an intense and penetrating incense that could burn for three thousand years, the fragrance celebrates the Homeric epic of the most beautiful of heroes, whose wrath and its unpredictable consequences made the Trojan War immortal.
The symbol of the desired and unfulfilled Nostos is Achilles. It is not the Nostos of Odysseus and his Odyssey, but of Achilles, the emblem of this fragrance, conceived by the gods and born of love, like the Trojan War.

The fragrance of the most beautiful of Greek heroes, fragile and dangerous, forged by Hephaestus, the god of fire, to promise victory.
