Hennin----

The hennin was the tall and conical hat worn by ladies in the Middle Ages and is probably one of the most iconic of all garments from that time. I see this one as being one of the truest yet prettiest interpretations of the scent of linen (the fabric from which the hennin was made) and a wisp of incense like one would find in church or in the silk imported from China. A touch of galbanum, a whisper of grey musk, combiens with a fabric accord which is hard to describe (don't think Febreze, that isn't even close). It's a very intimate perfume, one with a light but persistant dry down and the sort of perfume which delights you after you have forgotten that you put it on, a stray whiff or two will have you thinking, "My goodness, this is a pretty smell!"

(j'ai le droit de préciser un truc? le terme "hennin" est n'arrive qu'à la fin du Moyen Age, mi XVè siècle, et il est utilisé de manière péjorative... sinon, on parle de "coiffe à cornes"... voilà, c'est bon, je l'ai dit, je peux sortir! )

ça sent le Frebreze c'est ça ??

Ahhhh, Fabienne et ses descriptions!
