Jouissance La Bague D'O Eau De Parfum

When you want to smell like you belong to a secret society.

La Bague d’O is a scent inspired by Pauline Réage’s notorious novel, "Story of O". The narrative begins as a fairy tale, with O being taken to a chateau by her lover and embarking on a journey of sexual submission.

The novel, originally written as letters to her lover, was released under a pseudonym and has since become a controversial classic. Its reserved author was later revealed to be Anne Desclos, who wrote under the pen names Pauline Réage and Dominique Aury. The 1975 film adaptation added a dreamy element to the story, while also showcasing the unwavering determination of its protagonist.

“The chains and the silence which ought to have sealed her isolated self within twenty impenetrable walls, to have asphyxiated her, strangled her, hadn’t; to the contrary, they’d been her deliverance, liberating her from herself.”
- PAULINE REAGE Story of O (1954)

Jouissance was born in the pages of the books we read beneath the sheets. Even today, stories such as Histoire d’O and the diaries of Anaïs Nin still manage to discompose and arouse readers thanks to their radical complexity. Our scents are inspired by the female artists, writers and fictional characters who taught us to fantasise and to desire. In homage to them, our approach is inspired by the specificity of women's language, art and creativity.
