The Chinese have prized it since the highest antiquity for its aphrodisiac virtues. Its scent is considered so divine by Islam that it is incorporated into the mortar of certain mosques so that they exhale it in the heat of the sun. And it is so penetrating that ships laden with tea refused to take it on board for fear it would permeate the cargo…

Contrast between the liqueur-like burning of a candied fruit and the lightness of a veil of powder. Creaminess of honey and a leather melting like wax that recalls living flesh heated with pleasure. Mossy depths of a beloved body that darken to ink black. A saline trace for the taste of skin. A heady floral puff to remind us that perfume is the link that unites our body with the erotic spells of nature…
