“Faire le mur” means “going AWOL” en Français, and if you’re going to make a break for it, you might as well do it fragrantly with this fruity-floral escapade. Heady jasmine and spicy lily get juicy thanks to orange and pear. Osmanthus, with its delicate apricot tea facet, bridges flowers to fruits.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The moment of slipping out before the evening has been fully planned: juicy pear gives the opening an impulsive brightness, while jasmine and apricot-toned osmanthus bring a more sensual register. The woody base keeps that playful energy grounded as conversation draws closer.
How to wear
Try it in mild weather or on cooler evenings, when the juicy fruit and fuller floral heart can sit comfortably together. Start with one or two sprays on skin; warmth may make the jasmine feel more expansive, so apply lightly in hot weather. Let the musky, woody base settle before adding more.
Who it’s for
For lovers of juicy fruity florals who want more than sweetness alone. Pear and apricot-toned osmanthus offer an inviting softness, while laurel, patchouli and dry woods suit a taste for aromatic contrast and a more grounded finish.

Faire Le Mur | Going AWOL’s concept
Faire le Mur takes its name from the French expression for sneaking out without permission. Its brief turns that escape into an evening of taking risks, overcoming fear and trying on a different version of oneself. Part of the five-fragrance Night Fever collection, it represents the instinctive impulse within the house’s dusk-to-dawn narrative.
