Nobly romantic SILK DESTINY is a continents-spanning love affair in a bottle. The composition opens with top notes of pink peppercorn and bergamot, then continues into a delicate flowery heart and a silky base. The smoothness of the perfume was inspired by the refinement of geishas in “Madame Chrysanthème” by Pierre Loti. The novel tells the story of a relationship between a French naval officer stationed in Nagasaki, and his temporary Japanese wife, a geisha named Kiku. “It is the diary of a summer of my life, in which I have changed nothing, not even the dates, thinking as I do, that in our efforts to arrange matters we often only succeed in disarranging them. […] The three principal personages are myself, Japan, and the effect produced on me by that country.” - Pierre Loti, “Madame Chrysanthème”
Fruity, fresh notes embrace a crisp rose—not classically sweet, but freshly bloomed in the morning dew among greenery. The composition is very feminine, light, and slightly powdery. A portrait of a joyful young lady savoring a new day.
