turn left at the second tree to your right in memory of Ms Lot
Saturday afternoon brought -after heavy, heavy rains on Thursday and Friday- clean air and light that was brighter than usual: Ideal for playing in the woods with a camera and hunt for inspiration for the vetiver, paired with pepper and lily of the valley.
Thursday was doomsday. And the thunderstorm in the morning made us think of the last day on earth. I never, never, never ever experienced a darker sky at full day. Not even during my year in Texas. It made me think of Armageddon, the beast returning and all these pictures of heavenly revenge that cling on some neurons, even in the enlightened brains. No wonder: Even spammers send dirty mails to innocent perfumers using some hacked Christian websites. Checking a particular mail address for the corresponding website, I came across a Christian network nodal point last Saturday, and then using their Christian search engine -entering SEX (well, I couldn’t resist…don’t forget…I was spammed by them!)- I came to Lot and his pour wife and the miserable people of Sodom. And -like 30 years ago- I still do not get it. Poor Ms Lot! What a punishment for a glimpse back.
Thus, in memory of Ms Lot, we do not look back, but rather look forward:
If we are brave enough, we gonna talk about possession, fetish and perfumes, later this week on this blog. And now: Let’s move on, turning left towards vetiver…

Dear Vladimir
I hope your doomsday went over without affecting you too much! It is indeed frightening to feel the elements on one hand. One the other hand, sometimes it is good to feel nature’s mighty hand.
Thank you for your wishes and greetings to you and your wife

Hi Andy,
Lo and Behold here too, e’en unto the farthest western reaches of Canada, was Sunday electrical, thunderinglightning and deluge. But afterwards, the peace was immense. And it was good. I couldn’t quite find the sublime scent for After the Storm, but can now imagine the vetiver with LOV might be just the thing. Looking forward to it.

Hi Jane
Peace after the storm, what a powerful picture. This would be an excellent name for a perfume, too! It could be peace after a stormy night. or thunder, light and peace! It could be the sunset over wet leaves, it could be the thin snow layer melting again after a spring storm.
