After the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, many Russians emigrated to Western Europe. Tales about the deep interior of heavily forested areas began to spread in France – tales similar to the Slavic beliefs about forests. The influence of these stories extended all the way to the perfume industry. In 1921, Julien-Joseph Godet produced his own version of cedar and sandalwood borrowed from the abstract cloud of a smokehouse. A comforting aroma of vetiver combines with the excitement of benzoin and clove, a hallmark of sensuality and elegance.

 

1921. Un va-et-vient épistolaire franco-russe suit le crescendo d’une projection de l’autre depuis l’espace confiné de l’étude. Un cumin soupiré se confond aux clapotis de la Seine, la torpeur de l’oud sacré évoque les lumières sur la Néva. Les échanges ardents foulent le fantasme d’un ailleurs indompté sous l’élan du bois de santal. Le benjoin trouve en la plume son alliée de marivaudage, et les chairs se conquièrent au contact successif du papier jauni.
