Lady of the Night


Picture yourself in a garden beneath the stars. The house beside the garden is ancient but homey. The cicadas' sweet song reaches your ears while the soft breeze has a gift for you. It is the captivating scent of the dama de noche, those fragile white flowers which release their powerful fragrance at night. Though there is no one there but you, you do not feel lonely. You feel nurtured and rested.

Every single night you come out again and again to catch the magical mystery of why the fragrance is available only at nighttime.
