L'Origan by Coty for Thanksgiving Day {Fragrance of the Moment} - A Poem-Review About L'Origan

The smell of L’Origan is yellow, meltingly warm, chewy and delicious, strong and soft.

It smells of the color of corn, sunflowers, golden rooms and peaches.

It is the long-lost sunny side of L’Heure Bleue that rolled away like an Aztec wheel on the Paris cobblestones, or its morning side looking ahead to the rest of the time to be......

 

L’Heure Bleue is the blue negative of L’Origan

Blue wistful flowers dancing a melancholy waltz where there are yellow optimistic ones tap-dancing in the fields

L’Origan is immobilized in a perpetual sweet, triumphant and subtle smile of happiness half-hiding behind peachy satin curtains

It knows the sun will rise again tomorrow

And it never had the opportunity to capture the smell of the blue hour on the eve of World War I before all hell broke loose
