MUSK AND JASMINE - ELLENA EDP 50ML

Atelier Ellena opens this first chapter with a return to Jean-Claude Ellena's childhood, in which he recounts the birth of a disturbing desire. An instinctive, nascent emotion, brought to life by the association of White Musk and Jasmine.

Intensity: strong

"I have a strong attachment to Jasmine that comes from my childhood. In the morning, during summer holidays, I would accompany my grandmother who went to "pick The Flower," an expression that referred to Jasmine. These were terraced gardens where men were absent. Women picked, chatted, laughed, and seemed to enjoy being together while their children ran around. The youngest ones picked with bare arms. Their skin, golden from the sun's caress, seemed soft to me; drops of sweat beaded from their faces down to the neckline of their white blouses, revealing the roundness of their breasts as they bent over the bushes laden with flowers. On the ground, the baskets filled up. I didn't dare to look at them, or only distractedly, on the fly. The musk of their sweat and the narcotic florality of Jasmine intertwined and troubled me."
