Sécrétions Magnifiques Etat Libre d'Orange 2006

Unfortunately, we have forgotten how to stand by what we actually are.
People!
We were born in all kinds of bodily fluids.
Originally unpainted.
Our mother recognizes us by our own true scent, that of our hair, the natural one not perfume or fabric softener.
Our lovers and partners find our glandular scent attractive, not the perfume which costs 180 Euro We wash, powder, perfume - just to not smell like ourselves.
Is it self-hate? Shame? Denial ?
Anyway, I am not surprised that this perfume, which for me smells pleasantly of sebum, coconut milk and Palo Santo and a beautiful iris,
meets so much anger.
How dare you smell different, like skin
And what does the often quoted blood, saliva and sperm actually smell like when it flows fresh out of the body orifices?
Mineral, slightly salty.

For me an interesting scent, which polarizes more negatively than it should by demonizing body fluids.

I wore it several times and I actually got compliments.
