Topped in decadent
Impermanence,
Fleeting, ephemeral truths
As to composition, weight,
Significance of aromas
Precision and remain
La clé du succès
And yet, Middling amongst these
Quantities of victory, the variable,
The individual, whose own mark
Shall define that meticulously crafted
Breeze of leaves, mosses, and tree bark
Based in such mutability, Shelley himself
Might wonder why it is
These artistes de parfum
Create as they do.

Based in such mutability, Shelley himself
Might wonder why it is
