The collection

Five editions.
The archive number is the name that lasts.

A register, not a shop window. Each entry carries its archive number, the family it sits in, the concentration in the bottle and the price. The full eleven-field record is on the edition’s own page.

The house composes for a time of day. Read the register by it.

The five struck entries were composed and not carried forward. A record is never erased here; it is struck and left readable. The corrections.

Prices are for 50 ml. Refills and 30 ml are listed on each edition’s page. Not sure where to start: the discovery set holds all five at 2 ml.

The wearing, compared

The same six questions asked of all five. Every answer here is the one printed on that edition’s own record — nothing is written twice.

A.001Before the Rain A.002After the Silence A.003Quiet Hour A.004Ember A.005Night Bloom
Hour The twenty minutes before it breaks Late evening, after the room has emptied After the last person leaves Dusk. The press before you leave the house After dark. The flower will not open before then
Season The turn of the monsoon; any hot month Cold weather. It deepens as the temperature drops Any. Best in cool, still air Cold weather, where it turns denser and lasts longer Warm nights, on bare skin
Landscape Dry ground, hot stone, a garden about to be soaked Wounded heartwood, a forest floor in Assam A shuttered room. Sandalwood shavings and dry iris A violet field at first light, and then a fire A courtyard in Madurai after sunset
Texture Cool, mineral, faintly green Resinous, dense, faintly sweet Creamy, powdered, close Dry, leathered, radiant Heady for an hour, then creamy
Weight Close to the body Fills a room and stays in it Sits on the skin. Does not travel Reaches the doorway Loud, then quiet — deliberately
Worn for Ordinary mornings you would like to feel awake for Dinner in winter. The evening you would like remembered Work, sleep, and the whole ordinary day between them The evening you would like to be remembered in Warm evenings. Nothing that requires you to be discreet
