THE BEST PERFUMES from ESXENCE 2024

Facebook reminded me of this article about the best fragrances from ESXENCE 2024.

THE BEST PERFUMES from ESXENCE 2024: Pelagos, Seigiorni, Wega, Caprice de Jeanne, Violette Kew:

This is my list of the bests of Esxence 2024, starting with my favorite holiday spot, Greece, the champagne to toast its beauty under the star-lit sky, while looking up at Wega, sniffing the sugary roses of this garden of Eden full of trees with ripe fruits and flowers, juicy cherries, and gazing at forest clearings filled with happy violets. The perfect cosmic and earthy chaos and whirlpool of perceptions, according to the Paradise Lost and Found theme of Esxence this year.

Enjoy!

Lately, I have been quite busy writing articles. I will present them all soon.

PS: Up to this day, Pelagos continues to be my favorite fragrance from Dusita.

Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough, the British National Treasure!

“It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.” – Sir David Attenborough

The World

“…and I looked upon the world with all the innocence and wonder of a newborn babe. And now, if I am sad, or filled with sudden rage, I find some quiet place with grass and leaves and earth, and sit there silently and hope that they will come and call me, with their silvery voices, and make me clean again, those little angels of the trees and flowers.”
– Jane Goodall

Holidays

Because of the holidays, I will have more time to watch movies. I might check out season 5 of Emily in Paris.

I watch Emily in Paris when I am too exhausted to think about it and its numerous inconsistencies. For example, how in the blazes is Mindy willing to sing topless at Crazy Horse because she needs money for Eurovision, yet she can still afford a $15,000-worth outfit? Among other very pricey outfits. Yes, I know; these kinds of TV shows have other purposes than being realistic.

On a more practical note, how does Emily manage to fit two oversized fluffy fur coats, along with many other Christmas presents and items, into her one cargo bag? I tried to and failed.

The discussion of Belle Époque history in Season 5 seems to captivate everyone. While that’s excellent, it’s a bit surprising for a marketing manager not to be familiar with such a significant topic. I admit I might be harsh. To me, the true marketing genius is Donald Draper from Mad Men, not Emily in Paris.

Still, the message is very good. In my opinion, another Frenchman said it even better: “The true paradises are the paradises that we have lost.” ― Marcel Proust

Public Speaking Classes

💥I live in an environment where everyone works very hard, me included. In case you are wondering. I am not killing it; I am just putting all my creativity and insight into extremely hard work.

💥I wear many hats. I teach, I write, I do research, I do business development, I design strategies, I read everything, and I decide what to do next. Sometimes it seems as though entire days pass by in an instant.
Nevertheless, I create my own microcosm and schedule. And take time off whenever possible. I love cycling… Exercising keeps me going.

💥Among my quests for knowledge, I have found many articles regarding the fear of speaking in front of unknown people.
Furthermore, “public speaking” is one of the most in-demand skills for 2025.

Please read the whole article about the most in-demand skills for 2025: The Most In-Demand Skills On The Rise For 2025.

💥I am a very proficient public speaker, but I have come a long way.

My story is simple. I was a shy and self-conscious child because my height made me stand out among my peers, leading the other children to call me “the giraffe.”I was almost as tall as 1.68 m in primary school. I was a giant. I still have some very embarrassing photos of those times. That made me afraid of human interactions and extremely shy. Still, my parents, noticing something was not right, encouraged me to participate in school festivities and recite poetry. Additionally, I was invited to join the school chorus.

That was blatantly horrible for me. But it was good practice because it forced me to accept my “shortcomings” and forget about them while struggling to perform very well in front of everybody. Here I was, taller than anybody, reciting poetry. But that was the first step toward feeling absolutely at ease in front of people. 

💥Those “giraffe” times are unforgettable, especially now that I am of average height. I have not grown to 1.80 m, as everyone feared.

💥Now, I am a very skilled public speaker. When I give a speech, which is never rehearsed, I just focus on what I would like to transmit, and the fact that I want my audience to understand and to be in sync with my ideas.

💥That is why I loved being a city council member. Only after I became a city council member did I realize that my greatest strength is public speaking and rhetoric. Before that, I lived with the impression that I was just an excellent teacher and an empath.

💥I love speaking in front of unknown people. Politics is about speeches and declarations of power. One of the ways of showing strength is also speaking convincingly and fearlessly in front of people. If you are afraid, come to my public speaking courses.

✨We will have a series of summer courses that will include Public Speaking training sessions this year. 

✨Before your start preparing your speech, think about these questions:

⚡️Who is your tribe?
⚡️What would you like to talk about? 

✨✨✨ We also offer speechwriting services on demand.

Casa Batlló

Casa Batlló is a building in the center of Barcelona. It was designed by Antoni Gaudí, and is considered one of his masterpieces.

There are no straight lines or sharp corners in nature. Therefore, buildings must have no straight lines or sharp corners. – Antoni Gaudi

“Maybe the rumors are right, maybe Gaudi was counselled by a fairy about his high-end innovative, dream-like “curved” architecture. In this respect I am relieved and resolved to keep on talking with the fairies that at times whisper soft and pleasurable words into my ears. ” – fragment from my “Be Like Water” – https://medium.com/blueinsight/be-like-water-c62f5a6b1e17

Happy World Book and Copyright Day!

World book day 2025: This year’s theme for World Book and Copyright Day is “The role of literature in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”.

For World Book Day I nominate the book that made me travel. The words were so powerful that made me live in the truth of its images, walk the paths of love, anger and anguish of the telltale hearts roaming a world without maps… And I felt the desert, dissipating in my veins, the blood throbbed of life and traveling sand.

“The desert could not be claimed or owned–it was a piece of cloth carried by winds, never held down by stones, and given a hundred shifting names… Its caravans, those strange rambling feasts and cultures, left nothing behind, not an ember. All of us, even those with European homes and children in the distance, wished to remove the clothing of our countries. It was a place of faith. We disappeared into landscape.”
– Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

Artificial Intelligence Perfume Day

Facebook reminded me of this article about Artificial Intelligence and the art of perfumery.

ESXENCE 2024: Artificial Intelligence Perfume Day

“We shape our tools, and thereafter, our tools shape us.”
– Marshall McLuhan

Fragrances For Hangovers

My latest article on Fragrantica is about perfumes and the power of wine.
Not necessarily in that order.

“No poem was ever written by a drinker of water.” – Horace

20 Days Of Christmas

🎄20 Days Of Christmas

💥Following the (Romanian) chaos of the last two weeks, when I was somewhat on the brink of a heart attack, I can now finally concentrate on the most beautiful days of winter.

💥I am going to start publishing the most beautiful Christmas paintings today.

🎄Christmas is the time of enlightenment, inner warmth, and profound joy, and I particularly liked what T.S. Eliot said in “The Cultivation of Christmas Trees”.

⚡️“Christmas in Romania means drummers dressed up in bearskins to spook evil spirits and joyous children in colorful apparel chanting at doorways: ‘Do you welcome the Christmas Eve’s carolers?’” – Iulia Halatz

🎄Let’s start growing our Inventory of Light with the most beautiful Christmas paintings.
