Page I · Foreword
Acatalog should not be a list. It should be a small library of intentions — the bottle held to the window, the perfumer's hand on the brass cap, the page turned slowly because the paper is good. What follows is a printed promenade through four houses we love: Louis Vuitton's Imagination, Nishane's Hacivat, Mancera's Instant Crush, and Tiziana Terenzi's Kirkè. Read it like a journal; mark the pages you want to wear.
