"Lumière :
toujours dire Fiat Lux ! quand on allume une bougie"
Gustave Flaubert
Sweet delicious memories of southern Italy, sensual and vibrant. At the bend of the hills, millenium villages appear, white houses with lime, dazzled by the sun. Steeped in history, a country house with coloured shutters where the sweet scent of almond hangs in the air. From surrounding paths, the subtle scent of orange blossom. "Amarum Dulcis", a scent to taste. |

There are temples of silence where the slowness of the pendulum tints the suspended time of a sepia powdered atmosphere…Under the high ceilings, the long ribbon of the vanished eras leaves in its wake the aromas of a bouquet of large dried flowers, deposited on a precious wood pedestal table and embalmed with wax. On the gleaming pageantry tray are reflected moving and terrifying figures guided by the players stuck in a feeling of infinity. If the scent of time could be written, its ephemeral name would whisper the aromas of cedarwood and sandalwood, iris and lavandin, and would be called «Bois d’alcôve ». |

Floral and powdery scent: memory of this Victorian England where elegant ladies in petticoat dresses touch the antique and majestically graceful roses in a bucolic garden. Under the flowery arbours vibrate the flavor of the majestic iris, the absolute of violet, and the delicious scent of jasmines. Powdery, feminine and sensual notes accompany this voluptuous stroll and rise up to the sky of a mineral grey, a delicious melancholy. If Romanticism was a scent, it would be called "Fylingdales." |
Woody scent and leathery, concentrate a golden age where we danced pages today as we danced the images. This smoky blend of wood, amber and moss on stone evokes the atmosphere of the library of an old mansion where the mixes smell of weathered wood, leather bound and old paper. Notes of fragrances darker, richer, often unexpected, remember that this library with rows tragic novels, romances, old books and a few pounds lighter. It was time, finally, the words have their scent, it is called "Opuscule". |
Mystical and enchanting fragrance, to remember these moments of plenitude, which we feel in sacred places. Heady trail of thuribles and myrrh mixed with the torrid smell of wood and amber, fatal. The light of candles gathers around her and reassures, as candelabras make their flames dance in the sound of Gregorian songs. Peace, luxury of glistening gold, sensual delight of time which seems to have stopped. "Sacristia" as a promise of divine scent. |
