Mad Love

-
For those drawn to love’s contradictions.
Inspired by André Breton’s 1937 surrealist masterpiece Mad Love (L’Amour Fou) - an exploration of passion and detachment, desire and distance. Set in Paris, it tells the story of a chance encounter and the irresistible pull to love madly and be madly loved.
This fragrance captures the thrill of the unknown - a full declaration of love for the singular, mysterious beauty of a single flower. The warm embrace of soft, dark roses - the lover’s mark - meets a cool metallic edge, like the taste of blood on a bitten lip, drawn by a passionate kiss. Hovering between warmth and restraint, the scent unfolds with a quiet urgency, charged with the electricity of an unexpected touch.
A fragrance that lingers like an unfinished love letter - haunting, urgent, impossible to forget.

SMELLING NOTES
Mad Love unfolds like a fleeting moment of passion—unexpected, electric, and impossible to forget.
A soft, dark rose, symbolizing love’s fragility, blooms in the opening—a scent both tender and hypnotic. Yet beneath its delicate beauty lies contrast. A cold metallic accord, like the scent of blood on a bitten lip, cuts through, invoking raw desire and seducing the wearer into a world of mystery and allure.
At the heart, rose geranium adds a green, slightly spicy edge, deepening the tension between warmth and restraint. There is both softness and sharpness here, a nod to love’s complexities—the way it wounds as much as it captivates.
As it settles, pure rose remains—a lingering trace of what was, like the memory of a kiss still felt on the skin. Haunting, urgent, impossible to forget.
THE NOVEL INSPIRATION
Nadja (1928), the second book published by André Breton, is one of the iconic works of the French surrealist movement. It begins with the question "Who am I?"
It is based on Breton's actual interactions with a young woman, Nadja (actually Léona Camille Ghislaine Delacourt 1902–1941),[1] over the course of ten days, and is presumed to be a semi-autobiographical description of his relationship with a patient of Pierre Janet. The book's non-linear structure is grounded in reality by references to other Paris surrealists such as Louis Aragon and 44 photographs.
We have collaborated with Penguin to create a special edition of Nadja feature our artwork available to buy in our book shop.
THE ARTWORK / TOTAL SMOKE SHOW
Total Smoke Show, a work by the creative collective MCT, is a visual expression of passion, fleeting moments, and the raw imprints love leaves behind. Presented as a Polaroid—instant, intimate, and imperfect—the image captures an orchid, a flower long associated with sensuality and desire, its soft petals marked by the trace of a kiss. The XXX scrawled in ink is both an emblem of tenderness and a nod to the erotic, blurring the lines between love and lust.
Smudged fingerprints stain the edges, a reminder that love is never untouched—it lingers, it stains, it imprints itself on us. Drawing from contemporary culture while evoking surrealist gestures of transformation, the image embodies the essence of Mad Love—the electric charge between longing and detachment, the ephemeral and the eternal.
