Come with me
"Come to Italy for a while. Come with me to the blue sea. "Is the (a bit stupid) text of a song from 1956 by the otherwise quite talented Caterina Valente. Because it's so stupid, I always have to think about it when it comes to holidays in Italy. Stanz sprays himself with Louanges Profanes (worldly praises) and is Klein-Stanz on holiday in Italy. Because the perfume spreads the smell of sun milk on sunlit skin. Klein-Stanz enjoys the freedom, the warmth, the many exotic smells and animals. The sand is hot on the feet. The pine grove in which the caravan stands is cool and smells slightly of the resin of the trees.
But the perfumer didn't plan it that way. I just found a Youtube video with Italian subtitles on which he himself tells in French how it came to the development of this fragrance. The mission was to olfactorically represent the greatest happiness in a woman's life. Pierre Guillaume thought this must be the birth of a child. Therefore he drew his inspiration from the smell of a baby's fontanelle. He took a strand of his godchild's hair and used it to perform chromatography to separate the olfactory components. It smelled mainly of musk and bananas. He presented the preliminary result to the client, who then wanted him to make a perfume that smells like the night of love with an angel. He had thought of babies quite harmlessly and now it went in a completely different direction. A "beautiful angel with long blond hair". He wanted to create an oriental fragrance that was both sensual and pure. Two things that aren't compatible. Neroli as pure fragrance and Benzoe as sensual fragrance. Then he looked for connecting links that could lead from Neroli to Benzoe. He wanted to process religious symbols. Orange blossoms (from which neroli is extracted) were particularly in the 19th century tied in France to a wreath which the bride wore at the wedding as a sign of virginity in her hair. The white lily is also called the Madonna lily (not because of the Madonna, but because of Mary, the mother of Jesus) and is a symbol of virginity. The hawthorn is said to have served as the material for the crown of thorns of Jesus. Benzoin is used in the Orthodox Church instead of incense. Incense stands for the Catholic Church. Guaiac was the wood from which Noah built his ark (in the Bible there is probably only "resinous wood" and now everyone is arguing about which wood). In any case, the other religious elements transform the neroli so that it makes its way to sensual. Say PG.
It's nice to know that, but the worldly song of praise is reminiscent of sun milk. I like the scent very much. It smells flowery - soft to warm resinous. A fragrance of well-being. Which fulfills the first requirement, memory of happy moments. But I wouldn't want to spend nights with angels. Funny idea.
In my opinion, Louanges Profanes is really a perfume for women. Maybe you don't have to be a lady, I can wear it. It suits every occasion, not only in church. Some forms of pilgrimage can certainly be considered sports. I'm sure you can wear it any time of the year
