Hot sun, regrowth on old burned land…
Mushrooms and tall grass grow here
Where the sun and the shadows fall just right.
We laid out the picnic and curled up under a a sky growing into twilight.
We were making up for lost time.
We were deep in the forest of the soul.
If one could trap the smell of the fire light on your skin in a bottle
Or collect the resin of sweet pine smoke and hot aromatic tea…
We could imprint this moment within a scent.
Magnolia: This is my favorite of all the PLAP…it changes on my skin and becomes very sweet, yet remains slightly smoky. It does really remind me of the woods, vanilla tea and the lingering smell of a fire. I love it so much!!! Hot baby!

I love that…Thank you so much for the beautiful poem Magnolia. I love it how you really “get” my Tetu eau de parfum…yes..well done
Wonderful , it does take you to that shadow forest floor….
Scent, nature and sensuality all combine for me…especially in my poetry…Joanne, feel free to use the poem…
What an evocative poem, Magnolia. It took me a short time to really appreciate Tetu. I wasn’t sure about it at the beginning, but found myself going back to it again and again, like an involving book I couldn’t put down.
Now I love it.
Lovely poem, do you know if the PLAP fragrances will be available in samples to buy. I would love to sample this in the summer (winter here in South Australia).
Hi Sharryn, click on the Poster/Banner top right of this page- the Summer of Patchouli LOVE 2011- there is a list of the perfumers that clicks to their websites.
