Violets for a Queen!
So delicate and nostalgic, it hurts!
I have no idea what Indian violets are like, but what I smell here has nothing to do with the shrill, aseptic, ozonated, sugary alpha-ionones that perfumers use to assault us with, nor with the heady African Saintpaulia violets sold in flower shops as Parma violets.
Instead, we have gentle little violets plucked from the grove in early spring, pressed in a silver tabachera inlaid with royal symbols, and minty balm with which you gently dab your forehead in anticipation of a healing sleep.
Blue setting, a cigarette gleaming in the dark, peace, crickets.
