Year: 1979
Place: Paris
Champagne in crystal flutes, jasmine vines and iris roots, limbs tangled and lipstick smudged, a poet and a muse, an ocean of violets in bloom. “Love is reciprocal torture,” breathed through a cloud of powder.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The music is still loud, but the conversation has moved close enough to hear without shouting. Powdery orris suggests lipstick; violet leaf gives the softness a green edge, while sandalwood lends warmth. This is a scent for the intimate moment within a crowded room, rather than a grand entrance.
How to wear
Try it in mild or cool weather, when the powdery orris and soft woods can feel enveloping without adding weight to the heat. Begin with one or two sprays on skin beneath clothing for a more intimate effect. In warmer conditions, use a lighter application and let the violet-leaf freshness balance the woody softness.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to cosmetic iris, green violet leaf and softly textured woods rather than overt sweetness. Its appeal lies in the contrast between powder and warmth: a sensual floral with a woody foundation, suited to tastes that favor intimacy over exuberance.

Collaborators
Founders Jessie Willner and Hanover Booth helped shape the debut collection’s creative briefs, working with perfumers to translate nightclub memories and emotions into scent. Writer Jessica Garrison created the fictional Les Bains Douches encounter that accompanies this fragrance, contributing its narrative rather than its formula.
Discothèque’s story
Founded between Los Angeles and London, Discothèque treats nightlife as a meeting point for people from different social worlds. Its fragrances translate the shared euphoria and lasting memories of club culture into scent, aiming to recover how a night felt rather than reproduce the literal smell of a nightclub.
Baise Moi On The Dancefloor’s concept
The fragrance imagines Les Bains Douches in Paris in 1979: a poet and muse amid champagne, bathhouse steam, flowers and smudged lipstick. This fictional encounter gives the powdery floral composition its intimate atmosphere. The date belongs to the setting, not the perfume’s release.
Extra info
The bottle’s angular glass-and-chrome design reinterprets a disco ball. Champagne belongs to the fragrance’s fictional scene, not its official note pyramid. Co-founder Jessie Willner has named it a personal favorite, describing wearing it to sleep purely for her own enjoyment.
