Raku

Inspired by the ceramic surface of Les Bains' bar, Raku juxtaposes an aromatic citrus blend of lemon, black pepper, sage and fig with creamy ambroxan, white musk and cedarwood. Perfumer-on-fire Jerome Epinette deftly modernizes a classic aromatic approach. From Les Bains Guerbois Japanese faience, crackled, milky, creamy, sensual, thick, radical. Les Bains Paris loves the raku of its bar, consoles and tables that adorn the rooms and that the hand touches. A trail of perfume. Spaces. A mythical place. Lemon, fig, cedar. Synesthesia. Sparkling lemon floods an orchard of majestic fig trees with its soft light. The mineral moisture of ambroxan and the woody warmth of cedarwood converge in absolute olfactory harmony. A silky white bed of white musk envelops this tender alchemy of the senses. Les Bains Guerbois on the Formes et Matières Collection The Formes et Matières Collection is a feast of shapes, patterns, and materials seen and felt at 7 rue du Bourg l’Abbé in Paris’ 3rd arrondissement. Three fragrances — Raku, Damier and Oud Lacque — exemplify the inimitable personality of this historic place since 1885. They hypnotize, stimulate, inspire, invigorate, and soothe; their evocative poetry rouses revery, contentment, well-being, excitement, joy, and a thousand other emotions.
