Mon Seul Désir

On the sixth tapestry, the lady stands between a unicorn and a lion, but no one knows for sure what she is renouncing or what she is choosing. JUL ET MAD Mon Seul Désir transforms this ambiguity into a sixth sense: desire.

Nutmeg, mandarin, and pink pepper open the extrait warm, citrusy, and spicy. Coriander continues the aromatic tension, while osmanthus adds a floral-fruity softness with a discreet leathery edge.

Oud then takes over the gravity of the composition. It doesn't stand alone as a dark wooden block; benzoin, amber, and guaiac create a resinous warmth around it, and leather notes enhance the feeling of touch and forbidden closeness.

Stéphanie Bakouche finds inspiration in the cycle of six medieval tapestries "The Lady and the Unicorn," woven around 1500. Five are associated with the senses, while the inscription "À Mon Seul Désir" on the sixth remains open to interpretation as love or understanding even today.

Musk later smooths the oud and leather, mandarin fades, and benzoin becomes softer and warmer. The fragrance does not offer a single solution to the riddle; it leaves the allure to vibrate between the body and the decision.

Mon Seul Désir is not just a luxurious oud with a historical story. It is a unicorn between oud, osmanthus, leather, and pink pepper — a sixth tapestry that declares desire a sense.
