Arabesque

The Merchant of Venice Arabesque begins with tobacco leaf and plum, and does not apologise for either.

How it moves

It arrives on tobacco leaf, plum and ginger — bright, immediate, gone before you have decided about it. Then the heart turns up — cinnamon, tonka bean and cedar — and the whole thing slows down. By evening it is benzoin, musk and vetiver, and it is better for it.
