easy to love (Cole Porter)
The sign in cartouche form is in white and gold; it hangs above the large double doors to the ballroom.
An elegant floral garland drapes around it. We read "20 Years ..."
Yes, twenty years of what? The beautiful flowers do not reveal this; they hide this part of the inscription with their rich tendrils.
But no matter what it is: 20 years is certainly a significant amount of time!
Standing in the doorway, we overlook the ballroom: entirely classic in white and gold. Large chandeliers with shiny, light-reflecting prisms; parquet flooring that invites you to dance with its shine.
The dance floor is filled with elegantly dressed couples; an orchestra plays:
"You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize, all others above.
So worth the yearning for
So well to keep ev'ry homefire burning for.
We'd be so grand at the game
So carefree together that it does seem a shame
That you can't see
Your future with me
'Cause you'd be so easy to love."
A beautiful sound, a beautiful image!
Suddenly the light changes: it becomes softer, the contours less sharp; the sound of the orchestra shifts - Cole Porter himself is the conductor, guiding his musicians through his song.
The dance floor noticeably empties until only one couple remains; a couple whose dancing demands attention.
The gentleman's tailcoat sways in rhythm, the skirt of his partner swings along; their feet seem to barely touch the parquet. This couple is not dancing - they are celebrating a dreamlike float!
The gentleman, not too tall, rather delicate in appearance; his partner is blonde and perfectly suited to him.
Both cross the dance floor in a skillful sequence of steps, coming closer and - no, it can't be? It can't be ...?
It is: Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in person!
What an incredible magic unfolds in this dreamlike room of white and gold and fine wooden flooring!
Golden is also the color of the anniversary bottle from M. Micallef. Even the contents seem golden at first glance.
A fragrance opens up - simply beautiful: the noble white rose is accompanied by a hint of nutmeg and the fruity sweetness of mango, possibly even lychee.
This creates a white-gold swirl, slightly grounded by bergamot.
The heart note is formed by lightly esoteric flowers and oils: all the scents found here hold a high value in natural healing.
The rare and oddly orange Davana oil alone is said to be mind-clearing. It exudes a fruity, slightly woody-sweet scent.
Together with the rose geranium, the enchanting large-flowered jasmine, and the heartwarming orange blossom, an exceptionally harmonious fragrance beauty unfolds.
This corresponds excellently with the fruity, slightly spicy floral beauty of the top note.
For a moment, this scent progression reminds me of my beloved "J'Adore"; this too is a "golden fragrance"!
Light brown caramel and a creamy vanilla nuance refine this lively-golden fragrance composition once more.
The generous embrace of musk and clear patchouli is merely a logical consequence in the scent flow. It results in a warm, sensual mélange.
Noble woods, felt in the color of a well-maintained parquet floor, complete this very feminine-elegant fragrance creation.
Thus, a white-gold flowing circle closes here, enchanting the senses for several hours.
This fragrant creation accompanies at least an entire ball evening; very soft in progression - without edges and corners in the farewell. A fine trace remains!
Anniversary creations of any kind are always expected to be extraordinary.
They are supposed to be accompanied by drums and trumpets at their peaks.
If they are not, they are quickly discarded and deemed disappointing.
That is not nice!
This expectation does not allow for the personal beauty of something; it is not appreciated - it is worthless!
Over the course of twenty years, some unsettling rough edges have usually been smoothed out; they are replaced by softly familiar harmony.
Perhaps the result of this time is not breathtaking, but simply beautiful!
So this anniversary fragrance from Micallef is for me: harmonious, lovable, radiant, and beautiful!
Indeed truly: "Easy to love"!
This fragrance invites you to a light-footed dance; it enchants and makes me smile, brings happiness!
In the meantime, it has become a bit quieter in our ballroom; the dance couples have taken a break, refreshing themselves with sparkling drinks and light, playful entertainment.
But before boredom sets in, the dance orchestra takes the stage, Mr. Cole Porter takes his place, smiles kindly, and raises the baton.
In an elegant, flowing movement, Fred Astaire rises, bows slightly, and offers Ms. Rodgers his hand - both glide more than they walk onto the polished dance floor.
The gazes of the other guests follow them, "when they begin the Beguine ..."
