Bridal: A Celebrated Perfume of Love
By Jingya Zhang
In the gentle embrace of dawn, the bride awakens slowly and slips into her wedding gown, soft lace gently envelops the form. As she adorns her face with soft strokes of makeup, she glows from within; a vision of beauty. Then, she gently picks up the bouquet of blooming flowers, their petals emitting a faint fragrance, like the sweetest secret from the garden. She lifts the bouquet gently, admiring the delicacy and hues of each flower as if savouring the beauty of love itself. In this moment, she steps into the realm of happiness, a realm where every detail shimmers with magic and every heartbeat resonates with love. Find out her scented story in Bridal: A Celebrated Perfume of Love.
