Privelege. The Apiary at the Edge of the Village
personal fragrance
Story
Dorotea kept an apiary at the edge of the village. The bees obeyed her, and people came to her for honey and for advice: she could calm any storm with a single quiet word.
In July Ulrikh moved into the house next door, a sharp and hot-tempered man. For the first week he grumbled at the bees, the road and the whole wide world.
In the morning Dorotea put Privelege on her wrists. Green notes, blackcurrant, petitgrain, green lilac, mandarin, reed, mint, peach, plum, lychee, nectarine and white peach opened fresh and bright.
At lunchtime Ulrikh turned up at her gate with a complaint: a bee had stung his hand. Dorotea did not argue. She sat him in the shade of a linden, put a cool plantain leaf on his hand, poured tea with honey and began telling him how bees dance to show each other the way to the flowers. Rose, lily of the valley, magnolia, acacia, peony, white freesia, violet, water lily and amaryllis unfolded on her skin, tender and soft.
Ulrikh did not even notice when he stopped frowning.
Dorotea, you smell of lilac and mint, and next to you all my anger has gone somewhere. Meeting someone like you is real luck," Ulrikh said.
Bees don't like fuss either. Come tomorrow, I'll show you a hive," Dorotea answered.
By evening vetiver, vanilla, cedar, musk and a warm golden accord stayed on her skin, calm and warm.
How it smells
The start is fresh and green: green notes, petitgrain, reed, mint and green lilac sound cool, mandarin adds light, and currant, peach, plum, lychee and nectarine a juicy sweetness.
In the heart rose, lily of the valley, magnolia, acacia, peony, white freesia, violet, water lily and amaryllis form a tender, bright bouquet.
In the base vetiver, vanilla, cedar, musk and a warm golden accord leave a calm, warm trail.
What makes it special
Privelege was created as a personal fragrance to order. Its idea is that a great privilege granted by fate is meeting people of high human qualities on life's path. The innate ability to tame one's ego with strength of spirit and mind is worth learning from the woman this fragrance was made for. It is a fresh green floral fragrance.
It is worn for peace of mind: on a summer day, in a difficult conversation and beside those who need calm.
