La Fin du Monde

La Fin du Monde (The End of the World) explores an unconventional apocalyptic vision through the lens of cinema and popcorn. Created by Quentin Bisch for Etat Libre d'Orange in 2013, this fragrance challenges traditional perfumery by combining the comfort of buttery popcorn with the dramatic tension of gunpowder and sophisticated iris. It's a modern interpretation of how the apocalypse might smell - surprisingly warm, inviting, and thought-provoking rather than destructive.

Opens with a unique accord of buttery popcorn and roasted sesame, spiced with black pepper. The heart reveals a sophisticated powdery iris absolute paired with cumin and delicate freesia. The base combines an innovative gunpowder accord with sensual ambrette seeds and warm sandalwood, creating a surprisingly comforting yet intriguing finish.
