Now what is going to happen? Isabella must flee. Her reputation is in tatters and she simply must rush away as fast as possible. It's a long road filled with the scent of saddle leather, blooming summer flowers, the heavy rind lemons of Italy, and the stone dust of Italy's superb mountains. This fragrance will haunt our heroine for the rest of her life. She will only smell it once more, but during the time of her flight it was with her everywhere. A beautiful tribute to summer.
How will Cambienne
perfume oils change during the year? In spring you might expect the smell of earth and distant greenery, the ever present threat
of snow and its ironic deeply vegetable scent, and an ozony cloud
where steam rises off plowed fields waiting to be planted. Then the
scent will change and become greener and sunnier, less coldly aquatic
and more given over to a verdant state. In more time flowers will start
to appear, the early spring types noted for their subtle perfume, then
the flowers will become bolder and bolder, spring rains will intervene,
new chlorophyll will triumph over the monopoly which soil has laid
claim to. The year will progress though the calm plateau of summer with
its humid languid nights and Dog Days of August with dry grasses
playing in a never ending breeze. The crack of Fall, the first frost,
late autumn and Halloween to the coziness against the sharp nip of
November, then the world will come to a rest in December, covered over
in a mantle of snow, the atmosphere will turn more and more crystalline
and the earth will sleep tight to waken again and start another process
through the year.
Though there will be only one Master Flask of Cambienne, the
contents will go through the seamless changes that the earth does over
our run through the Sun's equator. This is a great experiment, one
which needs participation and a sense of adventure. The bottle of
Cambienne you buy today will not the same as the one you buy in two
months time. This is a very bold adventure for me as well as for you,
and filled with great "can't miss" fun. So, let's take this year long
pilgrimage around the sun's track of influence, enjoy the changing of
the seasons and rejoice in the new.
