The Golden Song of Hua Mei
No cage shall hold you,
my golden bird
with the Neroli song.
Place your heart
only briefly in my hands,
until mine beats in the same rhythm.
Then I will open a window,
so you can be free,
flapping your wings,
even if the gust
extinguishes a hundred candles,
their wax dripping onto yellow roses.
Glistening, your silver dust
now softly floats through time and space,
laying iridescent veils on my bare skin.
Carry my heartbeat out
on the wings of your hope,
until all tears dry.
The resin-warm pearls
glow in the dark
watch over my sleep.

Hearteache of the Hua Mei begins with a top note of bright citrus fruits and neroli, interspersed with equally bright, almost glaring spices, but it is clear from the start that this initial burst of light overshadows something darker. Then a wave passes through the fragrance and the golden citrus notes are infused with silvery smoke, as if a draft has extinguished a candle. I know that incense can create this impression, but I have only experienced it in connection with aldehydes, which are not listed here and which I do not perceive. Nevertheless, the impression is so strong that my mind adds the scent of melted, semi-transparent candle wax.
At this point, the fragrance lingers for quite a while before flower petals appear in the wax, and another note emerges, one that I puzzled over quite intensely for almost a day because it reminded me of something I simply couldn't name. I now know what it is: it is that sake-like smell that I perceived under completely different circumstances in N°18 Eau de Toilette - where, by the way, I did not like it at all unlike in this fragrance. It could be the combination of iris, ambrette, and rose that creates this effect.
In Hearteache of the Hua Mei, the delicately powdery iris and the transparent ambrette veil quickly dissolve from the slightly salty-sour note and begin to shine. Iris and ambrette is a combination that almost always weakens my resolve, and here it lulls me comfortably, gently transitioning into a base of soft, subtly vanilla-sweet patchouli with restrained rose. Suddenly, the previously silvery accents begin to shimmer golden again and envelop the skin in a creamy embrace.
A beautiful song has been sung to me by your Hua Mei, dear Gandix. Thank you for that!
