Natural Artifice, Effortless Polishing - The Scent of November 14th
Bay Rose (Pink Pepper) and Pear
The feeling of 'kawaita' (dried/parched) and the feeling of 'dry'.
They should technically mean the same thing, but somehow they feel different.
There is a gradation to the state of lacking moisture; 'kawaita' feels like it's somewhere in the middle, while 'dry' feels like it's on the side of being completely devoid of moisture—that's the impression I get.
Conveying nuances that cannot be expressed by a single word by placing them within a context.
There is a similar sensation in perfumery.
Conveying what cannot be fully expressed by the scent alone through words, bottles, and accompanying elements.
Today's Accord
The pear paired with the bay rose, especially the type I use in my salon, has a ripe aroma and a mellow sweetness, so even though it is a fruity note, it is a bit different from a light and adorable image.
I kept the concentration quite low and tried a 6:4 ratio.
A refined outline emerged from within the soft sweetness of the ripe fruit.
'Dry' is something made to dry artificially, while 'kawaita' is a natural flow.
That might not always be the case, but that is the nuance of the scent.
The sense that the pear had become appropriately 'kawaita' was a natural development born from an encounter rather than artifice.
What is gained within a natural flow is somehow sophisticated.
It is better not to force things.
You should just polish yourself as your heart desires.
That brings about a pleasant, 'kawaita' feeling.
