The golden song of Hua Mei
No cage shall hold you,
my golden bird
with the neroli song.
Put your heart
into my hands for just a moment,
until mine beats to the same rhythm.
Then I'll open a window,
so that you can be free,
swing your wings,
even if the gust of wind
extinguishes a hundred candles,
their wax drips on yellow roses.
Glittering, your silver dust
floats now powder-soft through time and space,
lays iridescent veils on my naked skin.
Only carry my heartbeat out
on wings of your hope,
until all tears dry.
The resin-warm pearls
glowing in the dark
watch over my sleep.

Hearteache of the Hua Mei opens with a top note of bright citrus and neroli, interspersed with equally bright, almost glistening spices, but it is clear from the start that this initial shower of light outshines something darker. Then a wave runs through the fragrance and the golden citrus notes are interspersed with silvery smoke, as if a breeze had extinguished a candle. I know that incense can create this impression, but I have only ever heard it in combination with aldehydes, which are not listed here and which I do not perceive. Nevertheless, the impression is so strong that my head also adds the scent of melted, semi-transparent candle wax.
At this point, the fragrance lingers for quite a while before petals appear in the wax and another note that I puzzled over for almost a day because it reminded me of something I just couldn't put my finger on. I now know: it's this sake-like scent that I noticed in a completely different guise in N°18 Eau de Toilette - where, unlike in this fragrance, I didn't like it at all. It could be the combination of iris, ambrette and rose that creates this effect.
In Hearteache of the Hua Mei, the delicately powdery iris and the transparent ambrette veil detach themselves quite quickly from the slightly salty-sour note and begin to radiate. Iris and ambrette is a combination that almost always makes me weak at the knees and here, too, it lulls me to sleep before gently slipping into a base of soft, subtly vanilla-sweet patchouli with restrained rose. Suddenly, the previously silvery accents begin to shimmer golden again and envelop the skin in a creamy texture.
Your Hua Mei has sung me a beautiful song, dear Gandix. Thank you for that!

Of course he wouldn't dance with her.
She stood a little away from the hustle and bustle, her eyes fixed on the light of the low sun, although she could only make out his fading silhouette. Shimmering like gold dust, tiny insects tumbled in the light....
