The Story

A fragrance of metamorphosis, addictive and unsettling... ‘éveil du faune’ blends the green glow of candied angelica with the animal sensuality of leather and the smoky swirls of tobacco.

Between softness and instinct, its trail captures that fragile moment when innocence gives way to desire.

Storyline

Deep in the forest of Foloi, the faun awakens. Playful and carefree, he rests in the warmth of a soft, wild woodland. Around him lies a carpet of damp leaves, while the first autumn sunlight filters gently through the trees.

As a warm breeze moves through the forest, a strange heat suddenly spreads through his body. His thoughts become unsettled and his breathing grows faster. Innocence begins to fade, slowly giving way to instinct.

What is this powerful, primal feeling awakening beneath his skin?

Perfumer’s Words

“I imagined Éveil du Faune as a tension between vegetal softness and animal sensuality. Angelica brings an almost innocent radiance; luminous and addictive, while leather and tobacco reveal something more instinctive, more carnal. I wanted to create a fragrance of transformation; that fleeting moment when the senses awaken and desire begins to stir both body and mind.”Alienor Massenet

The House

Hellenist is named for the people of Hellenistic times: Greek in language, outlook, and way of life, but not always Greek by ancestry. The house is inspired by Greece and made in France, with every component drawn from the Mediterranean region. Founder and creative director Jean-David Jacoby works in slow, quiet luxury; the artwork on every bottle comes from neo-cubist Carlo Amen. If Greece is a temple, Hellenist is a temple of memories.
