FLORAL ORIENTAL
 
Like theatrical works, like a masquerade, it performs.
It is three dimensional... four if we count time, like a Calder’s mobile,
like a Francis Bacon’s paint, always in vibration. It is a perfectly
rendered Scent of one flower, the rose ~ a soliflower.
 
Real May rose from Grasse, a tiny amount is produced every year
in South of France that is by definition limited in quantity
which means a perfume to use for limited consumption.
 
There are dozens of Roses, essences and absolutes,
but there is only one Bal De roses, constructed almost pure,
virtually free of ornamentation, that captures the true replica of roses.
 
As always, with successful art, it is the illusion created
by the artist that makes the work even more true …
