Before Words

Before she spoke, she lingered.
Not out of fear, but out of reverence.
For the silence between two people who know.
For the moment when closeness says more than language ever could.

Before Words lives in that in-between space. The hush before a confession. The warmth before a touch. It begins with a soft, golden amber, not heavy or resinous, but sheer and diffused, like sunlight through cream-colored silk. It wraps the skin in quiet glow, hinting at something intimate just beneath the surface.

Then comes the heart: a swirl of airy vanilla mousse, whipped and weightless, yet unmistakably rich. It doesn’t lean too sweet; it leans close. This isn’t a vanilla that shouts dessert. It’s a texture, a feeling, like being wrapped in a soft knit sweater that still holds someone’s scent. The vanilla here feels alive and aerated, like breath meeting skin.

As it dries down, the base deepens into soft vanilla, smooth musk, and the memory of warmth. There’s no sharp edge and no loud crescendo, just a slow, decadent unfolding. The musk is subtle and clean, barely there, like the last pages of a diary written in invisible ink. The vanilla, no longer mousse, becomes velvet. Still sweet. Still glowing. But now with the quiet confidence of something that knows its place.

Before Words smells like a gentle hush wrapped in warm vanilla skin. It is airy, creamy, and delicately rich from start to finish. A minimalist’s dream with a perfumer’s heart, simple in structure and complex in feeling.
