EXPERIMENTUM CRUCIS

the scientist had instead dozed off under the shade of a rose bush: and what if instead of the apple, a rose had fallen on his head? Universal attraction would certainly have been different! A huge, fleshy, full rose. Would he have smelled its fragrance, with his eyes closed and his face immersed in the heart of the flower? A fragrance of attraction: a chypre! And a direct and clear formula, like something that falls on you with a crash and never leaves you. An enveloping trail. Akigalawood and patchouli for a honeyed rose.

Forgive us, Newton! Your crucial experiment demonstrated that colors are not inherent properties of objects, but depend on light. Thanks to you, we know that white light is made up of luminous radiations with the shades of the rainbow. You also showed us that if we see a red object, it does not mean it is truly red. If it appears red to our visual perception, it is because when we illuminate it with a white light source, such as sunlight, its surface absorbs all the colored light rays that constitute it, except the red ones, which are reflected towards our eyes instead of being absorbed.

So forgive us, Newton, for using your crucial experiment as a source of inspiration! The vigorous and radical force of our fragrance, in fact, expresses in olfactory form how your theory revolutionized our view of the world.
