Ayala Moriel Parfums l’Ecume des Jours: Fragrant Froth

 

 

 l'Écume des Jours (Froth on the Daydream) inspired by Boris Vian's novel by the same name is a surprising scent. The sensual floral nature of the perfume wraps the skin in a gentle green silky cloak and takes you on a journey all your own. How could it be any other way? This is an inner journey into fields, magical forests and watery pools surrounded by the most exquisite and romantic flora the mystical world of nature has to offer…this scent offers a respite from daily life by taking you to the sweetest most tender places within. The beautiful Boronia is the Diva amongst her ladies of rose, pink lotus, tuberose and magnolia. She is tended by the forest sprites of cedarmoss, green peppercorn and sandalwood. A wave of seaweed flourishes across the scent lending an aquatic feel to an elementally earth/water green perfume. This scent is beautiful, soulful, tender and pure.

 

 

Lady of Infinity

Marry me to the final moment

Drape your algae tendrils across the sky and float me on a sea of grass

Lighter than air I am

Held down only by your love

I know you Lady

Know you from before time

Before the oceans gave birth

To her flower children

Your scent draws me in

To your melancholic soul

Green mother

Flower maiden

Lady of the Lake

Your beauty calls me

I stare

Deep into the water

Where does my reflection end and you begin?

We are one and the same

In tune with endless harmony

Ever changing fluid

Froth on the daydream

    How beautiful, baby .
    This is one magnificent scent, no question.
    Don't you do it justice !

  • Wow, what a beautiful description. I can't imagine seaweed in a perfume, but you make me what to try it. It must be living near the ocean, in the wet greeness of British Columbia that inspires Ms. Moriel to use such unique notes.

  • Oh how strange!  I did my thesis at uni on French comic fiction, and Boris Vian was my favourite author and this was my favourite book.  He died the year I was born, which also amuses me.
    This sounds beautiful and a must try, though sadly I don't encounter this line over here.

  • Interestingly the book was also translated under the titles Mood Indigo and Foam of the Daze. Ii is a beautiful lyrical surreal novel and lives with me to this day. Vian was also a talented jazz musician (saxophone I seem to recall), composer and critic. He also wrote, under a pseudonym I think, I Spit on Your Graves, an homage to the American noir genre – I wonder what a perfume with a name like that might work?
