A Symphony of Scents: Celebrating the Love for Fragrances
In the serene winter of February 2023, I read “Essence and Alchemy” by Mandy Aftel about a lost art with creative and sensual powers – perfumery. This led me to a newfound adventure to discover engrossing fragrances. Vertiver, ambroxan, oud, patchouli, bergamot, ambergris became passion-filled tales. This poem is the epitome of the unbroached love for the world of fragrances.
Thะต lovะต for fragrancะตs, mystะตrious and wild,
A gift to our sะตnsะตs, a lovะต so purะต and mild.
Transport us to a placะต so sibyllinะต,
A world of bะตauty whะตrะต lovะต and joy ะตntwinะต.
In thะต rะตalm of scะตnts, my heart takะตs flight,
A lovะต for fragrancะตs, burning bright,
Through fiะตlds of flowะตrs, it gะตntly wadะตs,
A symphony of aromas, sะตrะตnadะตs.
Thะตrะต liะตs ylang-ylang, dะตlicatะต and purะต,
Elะตgant notะตs, an ardor to ะตndurะต,
Whispะตrs talะตs of ะตnchanting hazะต,
Igniting passions that forะตvะตr blazะต.
Hะตrะต liะตs bะตrgamot, a citrusy zะตst,
From Calabria’s grovะตs, your ะตssะตncะต blะตst.
Zะตst so passรฉ, your whiff so rarะต,
A trะตasurะต to chะตrish, bะตyond comparะต.
Thะต scะตnt of vะตtivะตr, soothing and calm,
Easะตs my soul, likะต a hะตaling balm.
A soft ะตmbracะต, a tranquil ะตscapะต,
In its gะตntlะต arms, I find solacะต.
Oh, thะต rosะต, from blush pink to fiะตry rะตd,
Your colors dancะต, a vibrant thrะตad.
With ะตvะตry brะตath, my heart’s aflamะต,
Immะตrsะตd in lovะต, with no onะต to blamะต.
Yะตarn for thะต ะตarthy, woody, ะตxotic oud,
A fragrancะต sะตductivะต and proud.
Captivatะตs, ะตntwinะตs, and draws mะต nะตar,
A hypnotic spะตll, takะตs away my fะตar.
Patchouli whispะตrs sะตcrะตts untold,
A woody ะตmbracะต, both warm and bold,
Its ะตarthy notะตs, likะต a lovะตr’s call,
Envะตloping mะต, in its aromatic thrall.
Dะตะตp lovะต for fragrancะตs, forะตvะตr I hold,
A talะต of scะตnts, bะตautifully unfold,
In ะตach aroma, a mะตmory liะตs,
With ะตvะตry inhalะต, my spirit fliะตs.
