I'm glad you found it valuable, Pansy. Mlle Ambrette is very good. Do you know she learned from her mother, who was Ardenia's perfumer when I was your age? So although she's young, she's been doing this for quite some time.

Yes, there is some rose in the top notes of my scent. It doesn't surprise me that yours is quite different, though. As you grow, your scent will likely become a bit more sophisticated as well.

I do hope your mother appreciates Lucius' gesture for the privilege it is. An account with Madam Ardenia is like holding membership in quite a special club.
