Valentine's Day, the secrets of lavender
"Give me a poem to make me smile Give me a smell to make me feel alive Give me a color to paint this moment
Draw me a personal message Draw me an eternal moment Draw me words to let go of my feelings
Talk to me about always, Talk to me with humor,
But above all, talk to me about Love."
An English tradition dating back to the 14th century, Valentine's Day recalls the little notes that Valentines exchanged.
The key to seduction is finding a beautiful idea. Poetry is an art that fuels creativity, so giving a poem to your loved one is so romantic.
It is offering a beautiful text that makes people happy, which has allowed this long-lived tradition in the Anglo-Saxon world to spread Valentine's Day across continents in recent times.
The charm of the past still carries this "celebration of love" that is always present among lovers. The ancient world sometimes protects what the modern world has made too commercial.
The same goes for perfumery…
Indeed, sometimes the scents of the past, rare and pure, knew how to trigger passions. So the first scented notes already provoked the first amorous vertigo...
But what was used then to bewitch one's soul mate?
Among the "bewitching" plants, a very popular magical plant was lavender.
It was sometimes even used in love potions, to "make the other person accept him or her as he or she is." In love, there is no need to lie, even in self-esteem, because it is impossible to force love. So seeing happiness in the loved one is the desired joy, and a poem or a bouquet of perfume is enough to make Valentine's Day an invitation to a better world...
A Lavender Heart of your choice can carry this poetic message to your loved one.
The artist (the poet) in love is you.
