“Water lilies load throughout
The blue lake amid the woods,
That imparts, whereas in white circles
Startling, to a ship its moods.
And alongside the strands I’m passing
Listening, -waiting, in unrest,
That she from the reeds could concern
And fall, gently, on my breast” Mihai Eminescu, Romanian poet, The Lake (English model by Dimitrie Cuclin)
A few years in the past, a woman from Human Sources Division informed me ( she appeared fairly exasperated) that I’m the one “true INTJ*” she has ever met. Within the Myer – Briggs persona checks I.N.T.J. stands for introvert-logical-intuitive – a sort of persona that’s discovered very hardly ever, in slightly below zero.5% of the feminine inhabitants examined.
If there was such a take a look at on the planet of perfumes, I feel that L’eau par Kenzo composed by Olivier Cresp in 1996 would completely match within the INTJ drawer. It’s silent, introverted, contemplative, with out too many sentimental outbursts, deconstructing nature and recomposing it from easy touches.

I bear in mind the pattern of that was a gift-with-purchase with a shiny journal (that I used to purchase just for the occasional fragrance samples it held) within the 12 months the fragrance launched. The business was so splendidly in tune with what I felt. I saved sniffing the pattern, considering, that is like an… implosion of happiness! The perfect sort of completely happy! Virtually 10 years later, in one among my favourite motion pictures of all instances I discovered the proper quote that sums up what I’m feeling whereas carrying it:

I consider L’eau par Kenzo as my very own, private “sensory deprivation tank” fragrance. I shut the lid to actuality and I discover myself, half asleep, chewing on some minty gum, the curve of my backbone following the picket curve of the boat, eyes watering from the sharp weightless blue of the sky. Suspended floating on my imaginary forest lake, surrounded by impossibly excellent waterlilies, ripe fluffy peaches, frozen in time, nonetheless and infinite like in an everlasting summer season trip time-loop.
