Marie, Brussels circa 1990.

Finest afternoon

There are those softly scented moments like a Finest Afternoon, the closely-guarded formula of Comptoir Florian’s tea ; the secret embrace of a fragrance, verdant spring, musky like desire itself, as floral as meadows hidden by brambles one dares not part. Sometimes, it is good to listen to one’s heart and abandon oneself to the gentle inclinations of a Finest Afternoon.
