Après la Pluie
Silences Eau Sublime could have been the missing link between Chanel nº 19 and Clinique Wrappings.
It shares the same greeness of other ilustrious perfumes of the seventies: Chanel Nº 19, Alliage, Private Collection. However, Silences Eau Sublime has updated succesfully the edgy character of green chypres. It is smoother, less angular, less hard, and yet more misterious. It evokes a piece of serene, green nature, but with something dark and chaotic lurking from afar. It could have been like a summer garden just after a storm, or like deserted green house; it is cool, and yet warm, like something alive. All about it is spare and demure, and yet is far away from being lifeless. It brings to my mind ideas about pre-Columbian myths. The mysterious black bottle evokes the legend ot Tezcatlipoca, the Lord of the Smoky Mirror. It could be a beautiful Mayan jade -with is muted and relentless green- necklace turned into a perfume. It could be the smell of a rainforest, populated by ocelots and jaguars. In fact, if I had to translate this perfume into an image, that would be a magnificent black jaguar with green eyes. An imposing beast, which does not attack those ones who do not disturb it, but which is ruthless whit the intruders.
Absolutely stunning and beautiful.
