This perfume was the first date accord I've ever smelled, and it was such a pleasant first time.
Velvety, sweet, somewhat meditative; it’s comforting and exotic.
I remember reading somewhere that when Radiohead’s frontman Thom York was struggling with depression, Michael Stipe (R.E.M.) called him. He told him to close his eyes and repeat: “this is not real, this is not happening”. Legend says, this is what inspired the song How to Disappear Completely.
Loving that song, oh!, so much, I decided to try the same exercise years ago. I remember visioning myself laying on an imaginary, empty beach; the sunset was unnaturally pink, the weather neither warm or cold, palm trees swayed in an inexistent wind, and suddenly I wasn’t here anymore.
The reason I'm writing all of that down here is: this fragrance is how that whole scenario in my head smells like.
