Description

On the occasion of Gitana’s 150th anniversary, a family lineage of racing yachts initiated in 1876, Caron, chose to celebrate a saga with Pour Un Homme de Caron. On the iconic bottle of CARON’s Pour Un Homme, the motif created by artists Florian and Michaël Quistrebert for the Gitana 18 trimaran unfolds in a 360-degree design: a grid of dots forming vibrating lines of extreme precision. The label, made from recycled carbon sourced from the trimaran’s manufacturing scraps, embodies this connection in the material itself. At the heart of the fragrance lies the original formula of CARON’s Pour Un Homme, conceived in 1934: lavender retains its aromatic vigour and vanilla its enveloping depth. A collaboration driven by the same founding audacity: the fragrance and the boat are no longer separate entities, but two expressions of the same creative impulse. Learn more.

Pour Un Homme Gitana

Eau de Toilette

On the occasion of Gitana’s 150th anniversary, a family lineage of racing yachts initiated in 1876, Olivia de Rothschild, Artistic Director of Caron, chose to celebrate a saga unlike any other, driven by values with which she deeply identifies: A determination and a drive to go beyond, shaped by deliberate sidesteps and innovation placed in the service of progress. This spirit finds a particular resonance in Caron’s history, and more specifically in Pour Un Homme.

A foundational tension

In 1876, on Lake Geneva, Julie de Rothschild inaugurated a racing yacht she named La Gitana. At a time when sailing remained largely a male dominated field, she chose speed, rigor, andc ompetition. Her gesture asserted both audacity and intellectual independence, shifting established boundaries. From the outset, driven by the imperative to go beyond limits, this momentum carried forward across generations. Each new vessel reexamines the previous one, innovating further, refining its line, recalibrating its course.

In 1934, Ernest Daltroff, perfumer and founder of the House, composed Pour Un Homme, one of the very first men’s fragrances, in an olfactory landscape then feminine. In this creation, born from a radical gesture that at odds with the conventions of its time, he united the vivid freshness of lavender with the enveloping warmth of vanilla, a note then largely associated with the feminine olfactory imagination. This encounter established the fragrance’s singularity, giving it its inherent tension and its disruptive force.

The dialogue between Gitana 18 and Pour Un Homme offers a particularly striking expression of this. A new-generation transoceanic trimaran, Gitana 18 is designed to transcend its own weight and take flight offshore. Between sea and air, between the vessel’s mass and its lift, its unfolds at sea, sustained by constant tension. Pour Un Homme similarly derives its uniqueness from a balance of contrasts, between freshness and warmth, between masculine and feminine. Once again, everything resides in this tension brought to its point of equilibrium

The body confronting the machine

To embody this tension, Olivia de Rothschild chose Bastien Dausse, a dancer and acrobat whose work develops through interaction with apparatuses designed to challenge the perception of gravity. In his practice, movement emerges from a close dialogue between the softness of gesture and the tension of the machine, between an impression of weightlessness and extreme technical precision. Suspended from the sails of this trimaran engineered to take flight offshore, his body translates this interplay of tensions into motion, extending its impulse and inheriting its rigor. Through him, the discipline of movement responds to the precision of the machine, in a relationship of control reminiscent of the dialogue with the trimaran, a conquered lightness reveals itself, born of mastery carried to its highest level.

At the core of these resonances lies a shared determination: to move beyond established lines, to make innovation a force for progress, and ultimately to open a space of liberation.
