Fragrance poetry inspired by Layton Exclusif from Parfums de Marly.
Lucid journeys to revision oneself
can begin and end with bewilderment.
So I ventured – down the brown cinnamon trees,
And black-flowered vanilla vines.
The white blooming almonds trees.
And the burning pink-pepper bushes.
Soon I reached where the aloe-woods grow black,
and critters make the dark moss their home.
I unsaddled the horse – set it free.
This was my quest to finish alone.
In the pitch of the forest, I found you.
Your sweet love – Shimmering and Elusive.
I took you by the hand and with just one question. . .
“Are we exclusive?”

Thanks, I’m blessed by your comments 😊 I’m even starting to draw away from strictly writing about each fragrant note, and even just capture the main story I feel from the fragrance.

Jay, I’ve done so much work from home that honestly I did not notice as much as other people did. The other day when I went to the market I was like ..oh.. yeah.. there is a breeze.. there are people around… wow..

Thanks Navin. I always try to tie in the name with the poem if I feel it fits without forcing it. I feel like this is a fragrance you’d like!

Yes, I have to warn though, per ounce it’s one of the most expensive of the market. 😀 And you can’t buy it discount because there’s so many fakes

Haha…that’s what I also wanted to add as well…you’re gonna make me broke in terms of money…but rich when it comes to this fragrance 😉

Hey at least you know you will smell good 😉 When you buy fragrances like this, though, you don’t need to spray a lot of you. So they also last a long time!

I know the feeling. I usually hustle to get money to buy fragrances so I don’t feel guilty. For example, maximizing my credit card rewards so I can use them to buy the fragrances.
