Buy Place de la Madeleine It's early. The winter sun is rising
over the Place de la Madeleine.
Mademoiselle Simone has an important
appointment at her perfume studio.
She is late, again... Suddenly,
Mademoiselle Simone stops.
In the crisp, morning air,
she detects a light, sweet fragrance...
It's the delectable scent of pastry,
and it reminds her of her youth.
She reminisces about the warm smell
of an apple tart cooking slowly in the oven,
and rivulets of caramel combining
with the delicate perfume of vanilla.
