"Grease, oil blackened by the friction of the organs of a machine. Collector of old vehicles, my father introduced me as a teenager to the beauty of beautiful mechanics while I attended the restoration of his Austin Healey, Jaguar and Mercedes. It was during the long winter Sunday that we spent hours in the workshop, working, hands immersed in the bowels of his wheel sculptures. The smell of grease has always exerted an attraction-repulsion on me. At the same time associated with happy moments of my existence, this "sweat of engine" with the penetrating hints of tar, of hydrocarbons and oil bothered me sometimes. Years later, it was by reading  Jacques Lacarrière , in his book "This beautiful and vivacious today" that I perceived the hidden poetry of this "Black Mucus" and I decided to make a theme of work. My grease would have the warmth of amber and animal musks tinted by the strange darkness of a chord of gaiac wood and violet leaves. The sulfur notes of the blackcurrant bud mixed with aldehydes will outline the metallic contours, to which the mandarin essence will give the brilliance of the chrome." - a note from the brand.
