DUENDE
Perfume
Woody, Amber
Oud, Cocoa, Allspice
In Andalusia, el duende is an untranslatable notion, that refers to a trance-like state in which flamenco artists allow their darkest and most vulnerable side to express itself. It's the pinnacle of expressiveness and resonance with the audience, of sincere creativity in all its quivering glory. Any art can embrace duende. In any art work, it consists of rejecting perfection of form, abandoning technique devoid of rough edges, to give free rein to an uncontrollable devastating, and authentic state of grace.
It’s Oud, a dark, animalic raw material, that Anatole chooses to express the sacred fire of duende that overwhelms the artist.

AT THE HEART OF THE COMPOSITION
A whiff of chili pepper and clove, fresh and camphorated, mingles with the darkness of
cocoa. This full-bodied delight is soon joined by the bold oud with fruity nuances of davana.
The ardent encounter gradually becomes languid, ending in an animalic amber drydown.
