The seven scents move through a side chapel filled with gladioli, an Easter Vespers lit by stained glass, the organ's own engine room of metal and warm oil, the polishing of gilded reliquaries before mass, a childhood Saturday spent at the keyboard while the church was cleaned, the cathedral's famous blue stained glass, and the bells that follow a funeral for a newborn. Flowers, incense, stone, metal, candlelight, machinery and coloured light are each translated into fragrance, with strong personalities and unusual contrasts between them.
Extrait de Musique is for those drawn to expressive, highly concentrated fragrances that sit somewhere between scent, music and contemporary art.
