The Afternoon Of A Faun by Etat Libre d'Orange is a poetic escape. Released in 2012 by the bold French house Etat Libre d’Orange, this scent was born from ballet, myth, and dream. 

Inspired by the 1912 modern ballet L’Après-midi d’un Faune, it tells the story of a mythical faun’s lazy, sensual afternoon under the sun. And just like that faun that’s half wild, half divine, this perfume is both tender and feral.

Unisex and unapologetically artistic, it’s made for free spirits, poets, dancers, and lovers of sensual mystery. Who are you when the world isn’t watching? Who do you become in golden light?

The formulation is complex. Soft but never shy. It doesn’t scream, but it speaks deeply. Moderate sillage. Long-lasting on skin and mind. You’ll smell it again on your scarf days later and smile.

Perfect for fall, spring, and even winter nights. It’s not a summer splash but a golden hour moment. Crafted by perfumer Ralf Schwieger, the quality of materials is top-tier. The immortelle note is herbaceous and maple-sweet, giving a nostalgic, honeyed warmth. Oakmoss and myrrh create a rich, velvety base that dances on skin.

The bottle? Simple, clean, square. No frills, just a bold label. It doesn’t need to shout—it lets the scent do the talking.

You’re the audience and the muse.
