The Scented Sides of a Woman: Yin/Yang of Geisha Noire/Geisha Blanche by Aroma M + EXCLUSIVE Draw

 

From tiny vials she applies

The scents

Geisha Noire, Geisha Blanche

 

On wrists, left and right

and the scented sides of self

emerge

 

 

Blanche, so effervescent with white flowers and bright lychee,

On her right wrist suits her public self

 

 

While her Noire side more privately unfolds on her left

Its seductive, rich and dark vanilla layers of amber and tonka reminiscent of an Eastern Bazaar

 

cradle her

Throughout her day

Alternately reaching out and

Staying close to her skin

Her sillage present but never loud

The perfect complement

Of the scented sides of self

 Day or night she wears

Her Blanche, her Noire

Noire turning softly sweeter, unveiling hidden dark musks,

Blanche still bright yet she too silently reveals her hidden white musk

Emanating her desire to be heard

 

 

The yin and yang of

The scented sides of woman

Her private beauty, her public beauty

So shy inside, so controlled outside,

her feminine power weaves and dances, cutting through consciousness

 

 

Never once denying the other

A touch of chrome and leather (Noire)

A layer of lace and silk (Blanche)

Play one against the other, the scented sides of woman

Receptively alluring

Actively seducing

Her Blanche, her Noire, her perfect balance of yin and yang

flow in and out of each other

 to form a circle; the scented sides of a woman.

 

 

 

My experience with Geisha Blanche and Geisha Noire Eau De Parfums by Aroma M Perfumes was true delight in wearing both at the same time, as both were so alluring in their own ways and yet very complimentary of one another. I craved to smell Geisha Noire in particular on a man, I think this scent would be spectacular on a man’s skin especially with the addition of his personal scent combined. They are very sexy and they unfold uniquely on different individuals, due to the high concentration of natural ingredients used. The yin/yang aspects of the sultry Geisha Noire and the Effervescent Geisha Blanche are truly tantalizing, these scents beg to be worn…again….and again….

  • I express the duality of ying/yang within myself by expressing myself differently to different people.  Some things are appropriate while others are not in any given part of the day.  It is a way of self-preservation, of not letting the unknown touch/harm/change you.  If you look into my fragrance wardrobe now you'd find scents from every category out there.. although some I would never wear in certain places.  I didn't used to be this way.  My wardrobe use to consist of black/gray/white/blue and citrus/light/clean fragrances (most things that society, my peers, friends has deemed acceptable).  As for Aroma M I have the Blanche oil and the Noire EDP and love them both.  I would love to win the Noire oil to complement the EDP!

  • I have sampled a few of Aroma M oil frags and I enjoy the complexity and long life that each oil has on my skin. Geisha Noire was recommend to me last winter when I was look for a mysterious and sexy amber to wear. Noire would be my pick.
    Such amazing giveaway! The vintage Skouken bag is a wonderful giveaway all itself! Thank you Maria!

  • I express my duality within by reveling in the feminine and masculine aspects of my character; lipstick and butoon-down shirts; sundresses and the gun range. I'd love to try Noire.

    exquisite union…yoga of light and love…sometimes it is vinyasa, others a dreamy restoration an inward look…divinely inspired, magically created and enchantingly, exquisitely joined day and night, black and white, boy and girl…lovelovelove

  • Monica told me to come back and request which one i would choose if i win :))  LOOL
    Noire of course.
    Thanks again Monica.

  • These perfumes look and sound very femine. I'm pretty new to perfumes but I am really enjoying the idea of sprayiny the real deal on my skin and hair. It's fun to try and figure out all the notes as it dries down and wears throughout the day….so unique is each one. Would love to try the Giesha Norie.

  • I like the duality ~ At this moment I am drawn to the seductiveness of Noire.  Then again the prettiness of Blanche also appeals. I would probably wear both!

  • Very nice visuals, oh if only I had a "scratch and sniff" computer screen (I love those inserts in magazines), however if the floral beauty even comes close to matching the visual beauty you've displayed here, I can only imagine I'd wear it all the time. That's allot coming from me, because I usually don't wear fragrances other than the anti-perspirant /deodorant  (Axe/Touch) that I wear.
    Anyway, I've been extremely Yang lately. Very reclusive, hiding in the cave so to speak. Very down in the dumps about what's going on in the Gulf of Mexico right now. I've made a few suggestions to the responsible oil company, and to the energy department as well. The oil company replied this reply:
    Thank you so much for taking the time to think about and submit your proposed solution regarding the Horizon incident. Your submission has been reviewed for its technical merits. A similar approach has already been considered or planned for possible implementation. All of us on the Horizon Support Team appreciate your thoughts and efforts. Sincerely,Horizon Support
    Anyway, were I to win this, it would be the Yang fragrance (Noire, I believe) I would wish for…

  • Beautiful review, Monica. My interest is definitely piqued regarding these two scents! And I absolutely love the artwork you selected to portrary the yin and yang of these perfumes. I absolutely could not select which one I would most like to try, they both sound so delicious. Thank you for bringing Aroma M to my attention! My life is both yin and yang. During the day, I am an accountant and maintain a yang personna. At night and on the weekends I run my skincare business, which is very yin. I love both aspects of my existence – the assertive, masculine side and the creative, feminine side. I hope I never have to give up either one. Viva La difference! :0)

  • Candace Crowley Breden says:

    I love the idea of the duality of a woman that can be expressed in the combination of scents, in whatever concentration you feel at the particular time.  As a crone who is also the mother of a teenager, I often feel the duality of youth and age, dark and light, turning from from one role to the other as the situation changes. Privately, alone, I celebrate both as I've always celebrated both night and day, yin and yang; I am that. We all are.

  • Candace Crowley Breden says:

      I almost forgot in being swept away; either one would be wonderful.

  • Lovely poetic review and beautiful paintings/artwork to go with it!
    I love how you describe the duality of the fragrances Monica…esp wearing one on each wrist!
    The packagin in deconstructed kimonos is a beautiful touch!

  • WOW! You were writing about me, about every woman, about the moon & the sun…I think if I were able to reach out & put one on it would be the Blanche; so *I* could be the Noire!
    Very beautiful piece, here. I am buzzing with inspiration!
