Marc and Karl are expecting you. They hold your hand in theirs, they lead you by the nose.
"I've seen woods out of nature where the yuzu and the cypress, the oak and the fig-tree, grow side by side, Marc announces, coaxing. Follow me there, where Mouse ballerinas bloom on the branches - you like Rats, so you've got to like a mouse too, don't you? It doesn't matter if you're a boy - I do wear skirts, you know."
"Kome with me instead, Karl interjects; I will take you through nebulaes of precious perfume and ever-changing fragrance: twirls of blue vapor, ethereal and aquatic, and clouds that rolled their thick coils over the tops of cedar forests and hanging gardens, and along the ornate façades of Oriental palaces where languid princes and princesses expect your coming."
The river too invites you, its odorous, balmy course scented by the fig-tree. It's Diptyque's magic.
If the choice proves too difficult, you may seclude yourself to enjoy in peace the bitterness of Cointreau as it is poured from a starry flask - yet beware, for the voice of Catherine Malandrino is sometimes heard, coming from inside this magical bottle.
When that is the case, that means it's time to go to bed with a large cup of Mariage tea tasting of marron glacé and honey. And who knows? Karl and Marc may visit you again, in your dreams...
