Find Me (No.2/Seek) Folie à Plusieurs 2019

Morning sunbeams in a dream-time structure.
Caressing memories, tender, gentle.
Sleepily closing the eyes and drifting back, sinking.
Our eager glances. Love-hungry, full of serotonin.
Tossed linen sheets; feeling the textures. Skin on skin. Naked.
Your smile, your eyes. Like rolled tobacco leaves. Dried and preserved in eternal fascination.
Your skin. Warm. Clean. And yet so wicked. Like a subtle glance. And a feeling, like ginger tingling, that flows through my body when you touch me. Undressing me with your looks.
We wallow in purity, spilling white wine on our bodies.
No question of the later, when we laugh between kisses.
The last cigarette afterwards was far too long ago.
It is the scent of blooming lily of the valley that won't let us go.

Find Me (No.2 Seek) aims to capture the scent of the morning "after" and was created by Folie à Plusieurs to reflect a scene from the novel "Find Me" by Andre Aciman, which is a sequel to "Call Me by Your Name."
This novel, too, fundamentally deals with longing, desire, intimacy, and the eternal search for love, which can sometimes last a lifetime and is often as painful as it is beautiful.
Seek begins with a puristic burst of delicate lily of the valley, followed by a powdery-soft skin accord that dances between clean/fresh and slightly animalistic-wicked in the nose. Always warm, cuddly, beautiful, and familiar. The purity and freshness meant to evoke clean sheets is skillfully realized, also thanks to the refreshing splashes of bergamot. At the same time, a skillful scent of white wine appears, fitting and very realistically rendered. The scene of playful lightness that arises from enjoying wine is immediately tangible in thought. Over time, one noticeably perceives a slight sharp tingling of ginger, electrifying.
Towards the base, Seek becomes warmer, which certainly arises from the delicate scent of tobacco, yet the aforementioned accords continue to shimmer gently throughout. Especially the lily of the valley gives the scent a hovering depth.
Seek is a beautiful fragrance, and I would say the theme is well captured here. It is not a loud scent; Seek wants to be found, and so it hovers closely, like an aura, around the wearer. It lasts a good 6 hours.
