the ritual of love
He sat by the open window and looked out over the summer garden of the hotel where his business had taken him.
Having traveled a lot for years, he was now preparing for the favorite ritual of these trips: the letter to his beloved wife Anna.
Of course, they used modern media for communication; but it was just as natural for him to write down his thoughts for her at least once during the trip - to share with her.
In doing so, he could fully concentrate on her and what he wanted to tell her.
He had showered, ordered a carafe of wine, and looked at the hotel’s own stationery laid out before him.
How she loved to look at these different letter papers; he knew she kept his letters.
Surely not just for their content and because she had received them from him; but also because she had a pronounced fondness for stationery.
For this reason alone, he usually made sure to bring her a new stationery set for her "paper drawer" in the secretary during his travels.
How she loved to immerse herself in it, to admire the individual sets, to caress them with her hands and gaze. Many of them were also of extraordinary beauty.
Stationery - who still loves beautiful stationery? She, his Anna!
He momentarily lost himself in the view of the garden and thought of her - his Anna, his love!
How they met, both so young and full of plans; she so buoyant and cheerful, with a scent that suited her imaginative, lively nature.
In the meantime, she had become a bit plumper, which he loved, and her scent had changed as well.
It had adapted to her, matured with her; carrying her own hidden secrets within.
He dreamed himself to her and immediately perceived the aroma of ripe pears, surrounded by the freshness of mandarins and bergamots. Coriander, her spicy companion from earlier, seamlessly and enrichingly integrates.
Instead of Ylang-Ylang's radiant lights (still present in "Lettre à Anna"), the lily of the valley has now claimed a leading position alongside a rose note that is feminine, ripe, and sensual.
It is not a delicate, light rose blossom - no, a rose in full beauty, at the zenith of its ripeness, generously contributes its scent to this composition.
Her base scent had also matured, becoming more sensual.
Patchouli is still perceived in evenly drifting golden-brown scent clouds; the earthy depth of oak moss, slightly more pronounced than before, also makes its appearance.
However, the green note of vetiver, which played an important role in "Lettre à Anna," has completely retreated.
Instead, amber enters this scene with resinous warmth and golden sensuality.
Thus, the young Anna has truly transformed into a mature, lovable being radiating natural sensuality.
The once almost virgin-born Aphrodite from Botticelli's painting has matured into a seductive Venus!
Surrounded by this, her scent, he fills his fountain pen, which she once lovingly wrapped and gifted him, with the sienna-colored ink from the bottle.
How long it took him to remember to empty the cartridge before each flight: how often had the ink run onto his shirt or jacket due to pressure equalization in the planes; how impatient she always was when yet another new stain appeared: his Anna!
Smiling, he took the pen and wrote: "Beloved being, my wife ...!"
In contrast to "Lettre à Anna," this "Delicate" was created to be more mature and fuller; the absence of citrus notes alone makes this scent not quite as young and buoyant.
But here too, ID Parfums/Isabel Derroisné has succeeded very well in creating an extremely wearable fragrance for any occasion.
The not-so-young, perhaps not-so-sporty woman who feels she has somewhat outgrown "Lettre à Anna" could find joy in this "grown-up Anna."
It is a floral scent, where these floral beauties are tastefully embedded in freshness and sensuality.
That its longevity does not last all day does not bother me; I do not expect it.
For this allows "Lettre à Anna Delicate," even without great showering sessions in between, to apply a scent suited to another occasion.
Sometimes a quick chameleon-like change of wardrobe and scent is necessary.
We women can do that very well!
Both "Anna" scent paintings are beautifully feminine: they bring joy, make one smile, and surround with a buoyancy that lets the sun shine.
It doesn't always have to be a powerful scent explosion; sometimes the feeling of a light touch is enough to elevate a previously gray day.
"Lettre à Anna Delicate" has moved in with me after I got to know the lighter variant "Lettre à Anna."
Thus, two wonderful women enrich my life!
