L'Entropiste - Dorian's Spleen – Eau de Parfum

L'Entropiste DORIAN'S SPLEEN Eau de Parfum

A Gourmand Scent with a Soulful Abyss – Opulent, Dark, Uncompromising

What begins as a decadent embrace of smooth whisky, dark chocolate, and roasted coffee soon reveals itself as something far deeper: a multi-layered fragrance reflecting beauty, decay, and the haunting desire for immortality. DORIAN’S SPLEEN is not a scent that flatters. It confronts. It moves. It lingers.

The opening strikes a sharp and elegant chord: green galbanum brings wild freshness, blackcurrant adds a bittersweet edge, and zesty bergamot lifts the composition into brightness – but always with a shadow beneath. It’s like gazing into a mirror that flatters and unsettles all at once.

At the heart lies the soul of this creation. Powdery iris meets soft heliotrope and the meditative depth of incense. A touch of rose recalls romantic ideals, only to be interrupted by a dry, bitter almond note – an olfactory twist that refuses nostalgia. This fragrance plays with proximity and withdrawal, caress and distance. It doesn't aim to please; it demands to be felt.

The base of the scent settles into a lingering, sensual twilight. Smoky vetiver, resinous guaiac wood, and animalic castoreum lay the groundwork. Into this density melt dark chocolate, freshly brewed coffee, thick caramel, a delicate trace of vanilla, as well as ambergris, sandalwood, and musk. Together, they create a warm yet shadowy aura – evocative, persistent, transformative.

DORIAN’S SPLEEN is no conventional gourmand. It is an olfactory meditation on decadence, seduction, and decline. At once dark and radiant, provocative and poetic – a scent for You, if You seek beauty in discomfort, if You embrace intensity as a form of truth. A fragrance not worn, but experienced – deeply, irrevocably.

The Creative Chaos of L’Entropiste – Between Harmony and Disruption

At the core of L’Entropiste stands a figure both enigmatic and visionary: Bertrand Duchaufour, one of the most influential perfumers of our time. Known as the Master of Disorder, he brings decades of olfactory mastery to a bold new concept. Here, Duchaufour pushes boundaries even further – turning entropy into an artistic philosophy.

“By introducing disorder into my compositions,” he says, “I set things in motion. Out of imbalance comes rhythm. And from rhythm, true harmony arises.”

This idea is not theoretical. At L’Entropiste, it becomes tangible. The perfumes defy convention. They are built from friction, from contrast, from intentional rupture. Each creation invites You to explore transformation – not only of the scent on Your skin, but of the stories You tell Yourself.

L’Entropiste is more than a perfume house. It is a poetic manifesto – a tribute to life’s imperfections, its transience, its sublime chaos. These scents do not follow trends. They carve paths. They don’t flatter. They evoke.

DORIAN’S SPLEEN, in particular, stands as the most radical expression of this ethos. A fragrance that dares to reveal the inner dissonance between beauty and decay – crafted not to be liked, but to be remembered.
