Scentiments
written at Thursday, May 20, 2010
Been really interested in fragrances and colognes lately, been researching the chemistry behind them and how they are made. It is really interesting! It is difficult to synthesize many of the esters, especially when using them to make fragrances and not compromising on their quality. Each fragrance has different top notes, middle notes and base notes. Although for a start I used to think every single one smelled the same.
It is an art, and no I'm not saying it because I plan to pursue marketing as one of my majors. Have a look at the picture above, Yves Saint Laurent's L'Homme for men, a simple yet beautiful design, the colour of the magic juice inside the bottle invokes a sort of curiosity. It is an art because the perfumer developing this fragrance plays around with different ideas, different images, different stimulations through the different ingredients. Finally, after months or even years of development, out comes a new fragrance for the perfume house.

Knowing
What matters supremely, therefore, is not
in the last analysis, the fact that I know God,
but the larger fact which underlies it --
the fact that He knows me.
