A trail of sandalwood, pink pepper and cedarwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eL'esperance est violente.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMirabeau, what a pretty word, peculiarly Parisian, suspended above the Seine. It composes a memory, joins another bank, and returns by following its trail of sandalwood, pink bay and cedar. In the heart of the City of Light, on the way to the twilight of the day, there is a bridge, a poem and a perfume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA discreet and symbolic bridge, of the master-builder spirit which transcends borders, becoming better by coming together. Those solid foundations of cedar, sandalwood and orcanox span love and musk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA poem as slow as it is violent, expressing the brutal and desirable hope of the one who would like to believe, of the one who wants to love. Vanilla, I write your name on the water, with muffled traces of incense and violet green.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA perfume to save us, fish us silently out of the water, bringing us above the Seine, our spirits on the water of our essences, bergamot and pink berry mingled with fig in a glass bottle, fiercely reuniting bodies in unison with souls, coming back to her by following her wake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are bridges where we dance: as children, we sang to them; some, where we fought, have had their names secured in history; others offer their architectual perfection to the admiration of generations. All are famous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut there is one that needed neither dances, nor battles, nor works of genius to impose itself on our memories: it is the Mirabeau Bridge. For this, twenty lines were enough.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt must be said that they were written by a poet, and that his poem was about love, unhappy love. When Apollinaire composed it, the Marie he loved had left him. But we can only guess at their story, which he does not tell, and is it not the story of so many lovers? Love has fled, like water and like the days.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe perfume which will bear the name of the Mirabeau Bridge had to translate its force, because it resists the flow of the Seine and time, it is the impassive witness as it underlines the final resumption of the first verse; but the delicacy of the fragrance, mixed with this base, conveys the melancholy of lost loves, while also imposing a sharp note suitable for testifying to the \" violent hope. \"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis fusion of strength and gentleness realizes in him the bridge that is symbolic of the joined hands of Guillaume Apollinaire and Marie. But as it is for the poet himself, it is to the eternal history of the lovers that we are sent back. Not to those of the legends that death immortalizes, and whose passion transcends time, but to those loves, too human, that are believed to be eternal, which are lost one day, as inexorably as the river flows.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuillaume and Marie were certainly in love, but \"the poet is a winged thing\" said Plato  he flies away and is attracted by the captivating perfume of many flowers. But the young woman who is imagined to be weak and defenseless, is in reality a passionate being whose intense feelings refuse to share and exclude forgiveness. It is she who will break. Neither supplications nor the oaths of the poet will be able to change anything there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThus he becomes for ever the one that the women he passionately loved have rejected. It is from the despair they aroused that the Chanson du Mal-Aime and the Pont Mirabeau sprang. To them he will be able to say one day, in an appeased farewell:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI picked this sprig of heather\u003cbr\u003eThe autumn is dead remember it\u003cbr\u003eWe will not see each other again on earth\u003cbr\u003eSmell of time, sprig of heather\u003cbr\u003eAnd remember that I am waiting for you\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParis, January 2022\u003cbr\u003eSuzanne Julliard-Agie \u0026amp; Etienne de Swardt\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade in France\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Etat Libre d'Orange","offers":[{"title":"100ml","offer_id":48123996012798,"sku":"ELDSLPM100","price":289.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50ml","offer_id":48123995980030,"sku":"ELDSLPM50","price":179.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/2314\/1118\/files\/ELDSLPM100.full.webp?v=1777367497","url":"https:\/\/connectionparfumerie.com.au\/products\/sous-le-pont-mirabeau","provider":"Connection parfumerie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
