When All Things Were Divine
EXTRAIT DE PARFUM
We live in the moment, just not this one.
Cut grass and green tea open crisp and vivid, edged by the
bitterness of galbanum. Then they drift into a soft infusion of
orris and orange blossom. And suddenly, from this very moment,
we're somewhere else: not transported, but unmoored, carried by
something we did not choose to remember.
The drydown? A harmony of honey and benzoin. Golden, comforting,
illusory, a reminder:
Nostalgia is the identity we wear in retrospect.
We live in the moment,
just not this one.
