When your tears have dried. When after the anger and the sadness calmness embraces you….
It’s that exact moment of calmness and serenity that I sometimes experience when I apply certain perfumes .
One fragrance that has that quality to it is Santa maria de Novella’s ‘Citta di Kyoto’ and to some extent Lorenzo Villoresi’s ‘Alamut.
In this drawing I try to portray myself when I am in a peaceful state of mind and when I find myself fragrantly embraced by the right perfume for such a particular instance.
