JARDINS D ECRIVAINS

$76.5

William Burroughs was the most avant-garde and daring of the “Beat Generation” writers. As a young man, he led a bohemian life and relished extreme experiences. His first book, Junky, describes the raw reality of addiction, which he himself had experienced.

With Junky, Jardins d’Écrivains interprets the parallel with olfactory addiction. Perfume has the power to provoke a state that is unique to each individual; its influence on behaviour is undeniable and disturbing. While it tells others something about you, it also reveals a great deal about the wearer. Junky is complex and unusual. The first notes are dominated by the freshness of Cannabis. The tenebrous heart of creamy Gardenia, Iris and Violet blends with a dry wood base of Cashmere, Cedar and Cade, subtly enhanced by resins and Java Vetiver. Junky is an invitation to singularity.
