When we adorn ourselves with such a tender name, when we abandon ourselves to the embrace of this crystal box, and when we envelop ourselves in a sheath such as the one that I turn between my fingers, we are a very aristocratic little person, and, if you are perfume. Jacée, you owe yourself to Beauty alone. - Theophrastus."
