Freedom in the Realm of Experience - Bigarade Concentrée (Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle)
Free will. An illusion? Am I not ultimately determined? Genes. Drives. Socialization. Education. Yet: I experience myself as the author of my decisions and actions.
Is an absolute will even possible? Can I want an absolute will? An absolute will in the etymological sense as a will detached from all determinants? What relation would this will have to me? To my determinants? To my needs, interests, my character, my body?
Ultimately, it would no longer be my will. It would be foreign to me. It would not be a will.
What I want thus says something about me. I want purity without sterility. I want freshness without sporty simplicity. I want transparency without revelation. I want seduction without coercive guidance.
What I want, I have apparently found. Bitter freshness. Light intensity. Woody virility. Refined security.

very well written, I don't know the scent (yet), but this motivates me to try it out

Nice that you found what you were looking for. Unfortunately, for me, it's words in the wind... I can't find the scent in your story. Hmmmm, but it's so beaauuutiful!
