For a brief moment before it was transformed into a boutique luxury hotel, the Les Bains space was given a unique form of rehabilitation- Paris' most accomplished and admired street artists were moved in to live there for several weeks, with the freedom to pursue whatever artistic goals they desired. This spiritual cleansing is commemorated with 2013 Residence d'Artistes, a beautifully fruity, woodsy, and floral scent that explodes with color and inspiration. Juicy peach and mandarin collide with lush violet and jasmine, mouthwatering cumin and cardamom, all against a backdrop of warm, musky leather. Like the short but amazing moment in the grand history of Les Bains that inspired it, this is an ode to creativity- the spontaneity, the serendipity, and ultimately, the memory that lingers in the aftermath.
