the ritual of love
He sat at the open window and looked over the hotel's summer garden, where his business had taken him.
For years on the road, he prepared himself for the favorite ritual of these journeys: the letter to his beloved wife Anna.
Of course they used the modern media for communication; but it was just as natural for him to write down his thoughts, at least once during the journey, for her - to communicate himself to her.
He can concentrate completely on her and on what he wants to tell her.
He had taken a shower, had a carafe of wine brought to him and looked at the hotel in front of him, his own stationery.
How she loved to look at these different letterheads; he knew she kept his letters.
Probably not only because of the content and because she had received it from him; probably also because she had a pronounced preference for stationery.
For this reason alone, he usually looked on his travels that he could bring her a new stationery cassette for her "paper compartment" in the secretary's office.
How she loved to immerse herself in looking at the individual cassettes, caressing them with hands and eyes. Many of them were also of extraordinary beauty.
Letterpaper - who loves beautiful letterpaper? You, his Anna!
He sank a moment into the sight of the garden and thought of her - his Anna, his love!
How they met, both so young and full of plans; they so lively and cheerful, with a fragrance that suited this imaginative, lively creature.
In the meantime she had become a little chubbier, which he loved, and her scent had also changed.
He had adapted to her, matured with her; carried her own hidden secrets within him.
He dreamt himself to her and immediately perceived the aroma of ripe pears, surrounded by the freshness of mandarins and bergamot. Coriander, already her spicy companion in the past, blends in seamlessly and enrichingly.
Instead of Ylang-Ylangs shining lights (still present in "Lettre à Anna"), the lily of the valley has now conquered a leading place next to a rose note that is feminine-ripe and sensual.
It is not a dainty, bright rose blossom - no, a rose in full beauty, at the zenith of its maturity, generously contributes its fragrance to this composition.
Their basic scent had also matured and become more sensual in the meantime.
Patchouli is still perceived in evenly hovering golden-brown scent swaths; the earthy depth of oak moss, a little stronger than before, can also be found again.
However, Vetiver's green note, which still plays an important role here in "Lettre à Anna", has completely retreated.
But Amber enters this scene in resinous warmth and golden sensuality.
Thus the young Anna really becomes a mature, lovable and natural sensuality radiating being.
The once almost virgin born Aphrodite from Botticelli's painting has matured into the seductive Venus!
From this, her fragrance dreamed, he fills his fountain pen, which she gave him once, lovingly wrapped, with the siena-colored ink from the bottle.
How long had it taken him until he thought of emptying the piston before every flight: how often had the ink run on the shirt or jacket due to the pressure equalization in the planes; how impatient had she always been when a new stain appeared: his Anna!
Smiling, he took the pen and wrote: "Beloved, my wife ...!"
In contrast to "Lettre à Anna", this "Delicate" has been created more mature and fuller; the lack of citrus notes alone makes this fragrance less young and lively.
But here too, ID Parfums/Isabel Derroisné has succeeded very well in creating an extremely portable fragrance creature for every occasion.
The not quite young, perhaps not quite so sporty woman, who already feels "Lettre à Anna" a little outgrown, could take pleasure in this "grown-up Anna".
It is a floral scent in which these flower beauties have been tastefully embedded in freshness and sensuality.
I don't mind that its shelf life is not enough for the whole day; I don't expect it either.
Lettre à Anna Delicate" allows you to apply a fragrance that has been adapted to another occasion, even without having to take large shower orgies in between.
Sometimes a quick chameleon-like change of wardrobe and fragrance is necessary.
We women know that very well!
Both "Anna" scent paintings are beautifully feminine: they are joyful, let you smile and are surrounded by an exhilaration that makes the sun shine.
It doesn't always have to be a powerful scent explosion; sometimes the feeling of a light touch is enough to ennoble a previously grey day.
"Lettre à Anna Delicate" moved in with me after I was allowed to get to know the lighter variant "Lettre à Anna".
Two great women enrich my life!
