A SACRED AND HIGHLY SYMBOLIC WATERFALL
Le Saut perfumed mist pays homage to Haiti, its people, its culture and especially its vetiver. It owes its name to a sacred waterfall, renowned throughout the country and far beyond its borders.
Le Saut or Saut d’Eau is a waterfall located in the heart of the country that takes root at the top of the Terrible Mountain. In this place of tranquility, voodoo and Catholic pilgrims used to meet hand in hand to pay homage to the spirits, implore the goddess of love Erzulie or commemorate the apparition of the Virgin Mary. A highly symbolic place, a model of integration and tolerance, in which communities of all backgrounds, regardless of their origins, their social background, their sexual orientation or their beliefs, now mingle.
A MODEL OF INTEGRATION AND TOLERANCE
In a generous and unstoppable flow, where transparent pools of water flow into each other, women and men bathe in search of freedom and tolerance. Preserved from judgments or taboos, one comes here to recharge one’s batteries, to ward off evil and to introspect, through singing, dancing, shouting, nudity or simply to purify oneself by rubbing the body with a mixture of tree leaves. A timeless space, open to all, that allows one to forget the violence of society ; a Peace & Love in Haitian style that we wanted to honor with this fragrance.
The Fragrance
Creative Intentions
To capture the vigor of the water that rises from the heights of the Saut, as well as the tolerance that reigns in these places, we chose to accompany the Vetiver in its dizzying dive into a lush forest. Catching the sun from the heights, the fragrance is scintillating and vivacious before flooding a moss-covered rock. Thus, Vetiver in its fall asserts itself little by little and supports this search for freedom and self-acceptance.
Olfactory structure
A major ingredient guides the fragrance of the Le Saut perfumed mist : Vetiver essential oil. We find it here accompanied by many acolytes ready to announce, reveal and support its singular woody facet, starting with the Cypress. The first note of sap, green and intoxicating, is enriched with zesty and aromatic accents thanks to Lemongrass, and is carried by the Namibian Myrrh so stable and unifying. As if captive of this vegetal amber, Vetiver radiates, filling the air with its smoky signature, enriched with the floral velvetiness of Tuberose alcoholate. The whole is particularly durable and the identity of the fragrance remains intact as well as faithful.
