Paul Heyse, from the Italienisches Liederbuch :

 

 

Even little things can enchant us,

Even minute things can be precious.

Think how we gladly adorn ourselves with pearls;

They are so costly, yet are small.

Consider how little is the olive's fruit,

Yet sought after for its goodness !

Contemplate the rose alone, how small she is,

And yet smells so lovely, as you know.

[All translations feel limping and ham-handed to me-

Even my own!]

This is a time of great transition and the potential for 

transformation:

Ramadan,the upcoming High Holidays, back-to-school, harvest time.

Troubled economic conditions, domestic and world conflicts.

Like Anne of Green Gables, I try to approach each day “fresh- with no mistakes in it…”

Easier said than done!

Sometimes, we need a little help-

And this is where Ambra Tibet comes in.

Serena describes this fragrance as ‘gorgeous’- and that’s not an overstatement.

It looks deceptively simple-but is truly more than the sum of its parts.

Of all the fragrances I send as gifts-

I send this more than any other.

At the very least, Ambra Tibet will comfort and delight you;
if it sings for you, then you will have found a true friend indeed.

Tantalizingly spicy- but never overwhelming-it is a cloud of softest, tenderest amber which lingers lovingly.

It is enduring and enchanting.

A little jewel.

I wear it when I practice yoga, to center myself.

I wear it when I travel, to soothe myself.

I wear it to work, where it delights my critically ill patients and my colleagues.

I wear it to bed-a mutual pleasure, to anoint my dreams and linens.

Ambra Tibet is discreet enough for all occasions, seductive enough to ensnare,
and soothing enough to salve a weary spirit.

What more could one wish for?

This scent feels nearly Biblical to me- much like ancient wisdoms which stand the test of time.

On behalf of all of us at Cafleurebon, a wish for all our dear readers:

May you be inscribed in the Book of Life
for a sweet, healthy, and prosperous upcoming New Year-
Regardless of your chosen beliefs.

May it be so.

[I will happily send a decant of this beauty to a reader…!]

The draw for this decant will take place on Sunday September 5 at 11:59 EST.
