Dancing With Light is the third and final fragrance in Neil Morris Fragrances’ series “In Love With Light”, aka The Radiance series. This series is special to me; I also wrote about Shimmering and Suspended In Glass.

I had been wearing Dancing With Light for about an hour before I realized this was special. I’d sprayed it and carried on with my morning, expecting a lovely white floral. It was certainly that, but somewhere between the first glint of citrus and the moment the scent warmed against my skin, my thoughts grew quieter. The citrus is fresh with a natural brightness, like the scent released when an orange peel is bent between the fingers. Orange blossom slips easily into magnolia and jasmine, and soon I can’t find a clear division between them. The magnolia has body, the jasmine has warmth, and lily of the valley sends a cool green thread through the arrangement. The notes overlap, change places, and pick up different shades as I move. At times, the florals smell almost sunlit. A few minutes later, something deeper passes through them. That darker floral touch is difficult to pin down. I’d rather not know exactly what it is. It gives the perfume a private side, a little sadness behind the smile. Without it, all those white petals might feel too pristine. Instead, they feel alive.

I began thinking about the way light enters our lives. Sometimes I may have imagined spiritual moments would be unmistakable. Surely there would be some powerful sign, or a feeling so extraordinary that I could never question it. Age and experience have taught me otherwise. The moments that transformed me most were often very small. None of it l seemed miraculous from the outside, yet I knew I had been met by something beyond chance. Dancing With Light brought those memories back to me.

As I sat with the fragrance, the flowers and citrus seemed to hover over transparent woods and skin musk. It is smooth, pale, and close to the body. The musk rounds the composition without making it smell scrubbed or overly soapy. Even after several hours, a trace of orange blossom continues to move through the woods, with magnolia and jasmine appearing whenever warmth returns to my skin. I found myself smelling my wrist often, but not to study the development. I wanted to return to the feeling it gave me. Calm would be too simple a word. What I felt was recognition.

There are periods when I become so occupied that I fail to notice all that is good. I can make a home inside my own concerns and forget there is a whole world beyond them. I find myself now reminded of the warmth already present in my life. People who care whether I arrive home safely. Beauty that continues to exist whether I’m paying attention or not. That realization felt spiritual to me because it asked for nothing. I didn’t have to become wiser, or more deserving before I could receive it. I only had to notice.

Neil Morris has given Dancing With Light an open quality that suits its name. Even with its floral richness, it never feels dense. Air moves through it. So does shadow. The darker blossom belongs among the white flowers, just as heartache belongs within a life that still contains happiness. One doesn’t cancel the other.

Maybe that is why Dancing With Light feels hopeful without seeming innocent. It understands that most of us have walked through things that changed us. We don’t come into the light untouched. We bring our losses, fears, and unanswered questions. We also bring every bit of love we have given and received. All of it travels with us.

Neil Morris Fragrances Dancing With Light becomes a close veil of flowers as it settles, sheer wood and musk. Some experiences aren’t meant for everyone around us. They are ours alone, arriving when we are ready to recall them. The light didn’t arrive. We simply noticed it. Dancing With Light made me consider that the sacred is already present in my life, hidden among the ordinary there is extraordinary. Wearing it felt like opening my eyes. Nothing around me had changed, but I had.

Notes include: orange flower, orange blossom, magnolia, aldehydes, jasmine, lily of the valley, datura, Clearwood, ambergris, Habanolide (soft musk)
