‘Tender is the night when the day prepares to close its eyes. In the waning winter sun, prolonging our shadows and memories into infinity, darkness suddenly weighs down with all its might on the light of what our lives once were. Smoothly, elegantly, it lets us glimpse its uproars and silences in the recesses of our memory. At a slight distance, its dark skin is smoked with incense, cedar and patchouli. It’s a chypre that dares not speak, a shiver in the night, a contract between the intimate and the personal/quiet self. When night falls, the shadow speaks like a mist on Earth.’ – Serge Lutens
