Nothing sparks the memory so powerfully
as scent. We know this to be true. One small whiff can tell vividly
of a time long gone; perhaps of a moment we thought lost forever yet
suddenly, in a flash, we live it again.
But these recollections are always a Secret History – no one
can truly know them but you. Joseph Conrad was right, “we live
as we dream: alone”…
The perfumes in this collection all speak of single shining points
of time in my own life. But they are a paradox as well – these
scents reveal everything about me and at the same time, they can reveal
nothing at all. They are like speaking of dreams and so you can only
approach them by way of your own experience and make of them what
you will.
Though we share perfume with those around us when we wear it, still
it always tells a very private Secret History. The scents in this
collection may tell of mine but when you wear them, they will tell
only of yours.
