Fragrance Story: In the enchanting streets of Paris, where the Eiffel Tower graces the skyline and the Seine River whispers its secrets, it is autumn in the year 1902. For you, there is no other place in the world worth calling home, for this city is a symphony for every one of your senses.

Hidden from everyone in this effervescent city, you carry a secret within your heart, a secret known only to you: you are in love with a poet. His verses, like the molten wax of a candle, melt across your soul, each word a pen stroke in the book of your heart. You treasure his every sonnet, every whispered phrase; they are more precious to you than any jewel in the Louvre.

You watch the time until the appointed hour arrives and then you hurry quietly away, the collar of your coat pulled up around your face as you duck your head to avoid being discovered.  He is there, at his favorite table towards the back of the café.  As you make your way through groups of other patrons, you watch him rake a free hand through his hair, distractedly tapping his pen on the edge of the table with the other. He is thinking.  He is writing — and you smile to yourself. 

Looking up, he sees you and his face is a poem. You wonder if you are as beautiful to him as he is to you. You have your answer when he draws you close, and you breathe in the essence of him. His presence is an intoxicating blend of scents, a symphony of moments from his life that dances around you, teasing your senses. 

It's the warmth of his woolen jacket, which carries the whispers of countless hours spent in dimly lit coffee houses like this one, where ideas flow as though made from currents of air. Ideas that are breathed in and out and shared amongst artists who search for their masterpieces in this corner of the glowing world they’ve created. 

But there's more - a sweet tobacco that lingers, a reminder of moments in smoky corners, where you shared confidences and promises. And then, a note of buttery croissants and flaky pastries, indulged in stolen bites between laughter and longing glances. Lightly floating above it all is the enigmatic hint of lavender from a sprig he plucked from your silver hair pin and now keeps between the pages of his notebook.  It's a dangerously seductive elixir, and you feel yourself falling in love all over again. 

You are enthralled, lost in the intoxicating meld of scents that come together to tell a story only you and he share. It is forbidden, this love that engulfs you, an affair that defies reason and convention. Yet, in the dimly lit streets of Montmartre, under the shadow of the Sacré-Cœur, you surrender to it, wholly and completely, without reservation.

There will be no regrets whatever the consequences, for in the embrace of a poet during these heady days in the heart of this twinkling city, you have found your own masterpiece—a love story that no written word can ever fully describe.
