Mystery of Musk - Craving - Perfume by Nature

[Guest guest]

This perfume flew me straight to Paris.

I have only been to Paris once, but I was struck by its essence when I

was there- the sights, the sounds, the tastes, and the smells.

By some marvellous witchcraft, Ambrosia of Perfume by Nature has

brought me somehow to Paris, and playfully combined a perfectly-

balanced impression of chocolate, cognac, hazelnut, longing, desire,

and perhaps a bit of café-au-lait so that one is immediately gripped

by the simultaneous desire for all these things and yet something

beyond them all - perhaps for the desire for desire itself.

I found in the case of this delectable perfume that the musk idea was

here expressed not so much by the use of musk-smelling botanicals as

much as by the suggestion of musk, the allegory of musk, the kind of

ineffably sexy musk possessed by elegant decadences such as fine

chocolate and fine wine and fine leathers; by delicate vetiver fans

and by full cruets of honey standing in the sunshine, and - blushing

behind my vetiver fan here - well, by sex!
