One week ago I bought Hammam Bouquet. It has been a revealing experience that has surpassed my expectations. Perhaps it seems exaggerated but I must to say it... It is a masterpiece!.
From my point of view (I am related to the world of the art so I apologize about these personal lines), the HB experience isn´t just a simply concept related to the good taste, style, sophistication, luxury, attraction, sybaritism, evocation, etc, (concepts that are so united to the world of the essences) but it´s more than these ideas. Indeed HB contains these aspects but as the case of a Bach cantata or a Mozart divertimento, which in the beginning they had a function of use, at the same moment and during the time, they acquire intrinsic qualities that provide them an aesthetic function. HB produces an aesthetic pleasure. The right combination of the elements, with such knowledge and development in a wise mixing of surprise, order, unity, variety and the clear comunication of an idea, contributing with something new at the moment and after its creation, give HB a special place in the world of senses.
Also it has supported my concept that I perfume for myself and that sensation of individuality and privacy has made me to think about sillage. HB is around me, near and I feel it during several moments of the day, without losing presence. Yesterday I perceived it constantly during the Maurizio Pollini recital at Teatro Real (it was a wonderful experience for the ear and nose) and I wasn´t worried about people around me, if they were disturbed or enjoying it. HB is not only a classic one, an icon, but a true work of art, that after more than one hundred years, it´s still working fine going beyond its function and technical characteristics, having its personal "voice", still "saying" (excuse me for use of synesthesia) something to us and at the same time becoming so near, personal and versatile. What a way to enjoy a work of art!.
Certainly, as it occurs in the art, can exist discrepancies with my opinions. Thanks.
