A chaconne is a dance in triple time that features variations on a bass theme. This piece by Bach has about 30 variations in its performance time of 12 to 15 minutes, and is one of the most famous pieces in which a cosmic world unfolds only with the violin. The history of perfumery traces back to Bach, who is described as the father of music. In addition to resins (frankincense and myrrh), which are the oldest fragrances, and aldehyde, a synthetic fragrance first used in the famous Chanel No. 5, we have created a modern eau de parfum using classic fragrances such as musk, amber, patchouli, and vetiver. .

As the name suggests, this is a song about the demons Mephistopheles and Faust playing the violin and causing an orgy in a tavern. The opening is an eerie 5th overture, Mephistopheles’ violin begins sensually, Faust seduces the woman in the tavern, and the song is frantic. Ravel’s “Scarbo”, the subject of Lanuit Parfums’ eau de toilette, was composed based on Méphisto’s Waltz No. 1. This perfume, on the other hand, develops Scarbo and creates the scent of Mephisto Waltz No. 1. It is said to be a devil’s rampage, and has a green bitterness and a dark, dense scent. Mephistopheles also means bad smell.

Based on the concept of “famous songs that you can hear with your skin,” we arrange songs into fragrance items. The commonality between music and scent is that they change and disappear over time, remaining only as memories. Both are the most luxurious because they are fleeting. The brand name comes from Ravel’s “Gaspard de la nuit,” which is the most difficult piece in the history of piano music. Music and scents aimed at perfection and aesthetics mingle with the five senses, inviting you to a time of sensuality and art.
