Reading de Sade means risking to face yourself suddenly, putting himself naked. A wonderful risk to run if we want to touch the body and soul of our immense and lively humanity. Because De Sade frees us.
It pushes us to imagine and desire by overcoming the limits and conventions that brake our perspectives. "Ah, how many times, for God, I have not wanted to be able to attack the sun, kidnap it from the universe or use the sun to burn the world!"
I, creator of perfumes, how could I enlarge my horizons, go further with the imagination, break down my limits?
Very personal question ... the Cisto! One of my paradoxes. One of my shadow areas.
I have always back back in front of the Cisto, I have always avoided or hidden it under thick layers of vanilla or amber, used as a way out. And here I am, however, while I deal with myself in a radical way: the Cisto, naked, and in all its forms.
Dear Marquis, to your lonely, to our volcanoes!
- Quentin Bisch, perfumer
Repeating constantly from the cell of the prison in which it was found that it was necessary to "lash out against the sun", De Sade reminded all the men and women of his time and the future of not accepting compromises, to refuse conformism and always prefer freedom .
Be yourself without suffering the judgment of others; Being yourself and living as you really want ... "All the happiness of men is in the imagination" reminds us of Sade!
De Sade was the most free man ever. De Sade is desire, passions, strength and tenderness, provocation and sensuality. And his perfume is like him: infinitely volcanic.
De Sade is like its perfume, you cannot lock it up, keep silent, to make it disappear. There is still and there will always be: unforgettable. Eternal fragrance that remains alive over the centuries, like his thought.
- Hugues de Sade
