Coup d’Etat

• Evening
• Work

Coup d’Etat opens on a fresh, sharp note, almost green and aromatic, that grabs your attention straight away. The texture then turns drier and woodier, with a slightly smoky edge that adds character.

Over time, it becomes denser, as woods and warmer nuances bring depth and a stronger presence on the skin. The fragrance keeps a certain tension without ever getting too heavy.

This is a fragrance with real contours, a clear progression and a confident signature.

Miles Wambaugh is a Franco-American artist born in Paris in 1965 to a Parisian mother and a Bostonian father, a musician and writer. He grew up in a household where art was a second language, before settling in the Baie de Somme, where he lives by the rhythm of nature, birdwatching and hunting. His perfume house was born of a conviction, 'art is man added to nature', and of a decisive meeting. Guided by Pierre Dinand, the greatest bottle designer in world perfumery and the man behind Opium, Dune and Amarige, he crossed paths with Dominique Ropion and Jean-Louis Sieuzac, two legendary perfumers at IFF. Ropion, the perfumer behind Portrait of a Lady for Frédéric Malle. Sieuzac, who composed Opium, Fahrenheit and Dune. A rare duo, working for a painter. The collection comprises five perfumes, each matched to a painting by Miles Wambaugh: Coup d’Etat, Sure Shot, Mood for Oud, Son of a Gun and Hot Shot. Names that hit hard in both languages, oriental and direct at once. The natural raw materials come exclusively from Laboratoire Monique Rémy, the world reference for natural essences. Each box contains an original drawing, signed and numbered by the artist, making every bottle a collector's piece. Bottle, painting and perfume resonate together, like a single work expressed in three dimensions.
