Sweet Redemption- Perfumed Candle

By Kilian

What
 if
 redemption
 was
 the
 ultimate
 temptation?
 The temptation
 to
 be
 redeemed
 after
 one
 has
 succumbed
 to
 the
 addictions
 of
 'love
 and
 its
 prohibitions'
 and
 the  'artificial
 paradises',
 discovered
 previously 
in 
Kilian's
universe.



With 
one 
last 
burst
 of 
desire,
 Sweet Redemption, the end' is
 a 
chance
 to 
surrender
 to 
the 
perfume of 
the 
'L’Oeuvre
Noire'
 and
 be
 seduced
 by 
its 
power.

Inspired
 on 
one
 hand 
by 
Baudelaire's 
hommage
 to 
sweet and 
deep 
fragrances, 
yet 
on 
the 
other 
hand
 by 
the 
dark
and 
mysterious
 poetry
 of 
Jim 
Morrison 
a s
he
seemingly forebode 
his 
own
 demise.
 'Sweet
 redemption,
 the
 end'
 is
 a
 final
 bow
 to
 these
 cursed
 poets,
 a
 final
 commentary
 on
 the
 irresistible
 charm
 of 
the 
forbidden 
fruit 
that 
tempt s
us
through out 
the 
'L’Oeuvre
 Noire'.

This
 redemption,
 this
 liberation,
 becomes
 even
 more
 desired
 when
 we
 learn
 of
 its
 intensity...
 the
 innocence
 of
orange
blossom...
 the 
roughness 
of
 the
 sour 
orange 
leaf
absolute... 
the 
sweetness 
of the 
vanilla
 absolute.

The
 dry
 down
 is
composed
 with
 a
 strong
 balsamic
 ‐ almost
 religious
 ‐ accord
 built
 around
 myrrh,
 incense 
and
benzoin.

This 
combination 
is 
meant
 to
 remind 
us 
that 
redemption
 is 
not 
a 
choice,
 but 
rather,
a
 reward... unless
 it
 becomes
our 
last 
addiction.
