    Love is that force that shakes the soul and gives meaning to everything. Does it last forever? The love for a woman is intense, passionate, and adventurous. Some love deeply and feel rich within. Today, while cleaning the house thoroughly while stuck inside, I found what remains of this perfume hidden in a drawer. I wonder if you forgot it or hid it on purpose, knowing I’d find it again. Smelling it is remembering how it sat on your skin, the perfect excuse to hug you. Now it enters my nose with a burning dose of fresh spicy accords; the aldehydes, bergamot, and a high-quality citrus floral note open up the scent. In the heart, lavender and geranium bloom, rounded out at the end by sandalwood, tonka, amber, oakmoss, and vetiver—a somewhat unconventional but fantastic combination. It’s unforgettable and lasts a long time; my house still smelled like you the next day. I never understood why our moments were so brief, wrapped in immense and burning adventures, cut short by fate right at their peak. But this crazy, wonderful love that has both intoxicated and shattered my heart has found, like Bourjois’ Flamme, immortality and will survive forever within me.
