By perfumer Caren Roberts
Jouissance

Citrusy
Unisex

A citrus overdose grounded by earth and rain.

Grass imprints on bare skin, underwear clutched in one hand, the soft touch of a stranger’s lips, Rohmer movies at La Cinematheque Française, the hedonistic thrill of cruising, typewriter keys cataloguing a litany of explicit details and the witching hour spent somewhere secret... We pieced together En Plein Air from fragments of Catherine M’s world.

Though Catherine Millet is best known for her erotic 2002 memoir The Sexual Life of Catherine M she has another life in the art world. As the editor of Art Press – a magazine she co-founded in 1972 – she inhabits a place among the French intelligentsia.

Art, sex and hedonism alike are approached in her writing with an intellectual sense of detachment, an apparent affectlessness that hides a girlish need to belong. The community she finds in the incongruous worlds of art and group sex ultimately lead her towards a reconciliation of the physical and spiritual.

Jouissance

Eroticism as a source of power and existential intensity.

“Erotic writing was, for authors like Anaïs Nin or Catherine Millet, a way to escape the phallocentric structures that have shaped language and literary expression. What moves me in their work is that it springs from their own bodily experience, from something visceral and instinctive.”

— Cherry Cheng, founder of Jouissance

This remarkable perfume house, devoted to female erotic litterature, sweeps you away with a sensual, feminine and intellectual aesthetic.

Even before the first spray, the object seduces. The packaging feels like a work of art: textured beige boxes in cotton paper and fibres that evoke the touch of old books, and slender bottles resting in a bed of pink silk, like vintage jewels.

A truly immersive olfactory and sensory experience.

Are your perfumes suitable for sensitive skin or allergies?

All our perfumes comply with the strict safety standards set by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA). While reactions are rare, if you have sensitive skin or allergies, we recommend starting with a 1ml sample to ensure compatibility.

How does perfume evolve on the skin?

Perfume is alive. It reacts to your skin, your warmth, the air around you — even your mood.

It unfolds in stages:
The top notes are bright and fleeting — they vanish within minutes.
Heart notes follow, more expressive and personal.
Then come the base notes, deeper and lasting, often present hours later… even the next day.

I can’t smell my perfume after a while — is that normal?

Yes — it’s a natural reaction called olfactory fatigue.

Your sense of smell “filters out” familiar scents to avoid sensory overload. As a result, your fragrance may seem to vanish… but it’s still there, often noticed by those around you.
