In a part of the perfume collector’s book, we read:
The shirt was very expensive. Much more than Grace has ever spent on anything in her life, but which woman turns her back on fate?
Happy and tired, the girls went downstairs, went through the accessories section, through the handbags, and finally on their way out to look for a taxi, to the make-up section.
Grace paused in front of the counter with a row of perfume bottles. One bottle in particular caught his eye. It was round, filled with dark amber liquid and adorned with a golden cap. It was a bottle he was familiar with, but had never really looked at.
Grace stood up and picked it up.
“Oh, I love it,” Mallory said. “It’s my fault … my mother used to hit it.” He stretched out his arm. “Click here to remember the old days …”
Grace sprayed a little on Mallory’s wrist. “It is strong …”
“I know. “Mom always wears it in special situations.” Raise your wrist and smell. “Now that I think about it, I see that it gives me a headache.”
“This is one of Madame Zed perfumes.”
Mallory looked at him and was impressed. “Really?”
There was a picture on it, presented on a gold leaf on glass; An abstract image of a mother with open arms bent over to embrace a child. “Jane Lenvin.” The two bodies formed a single golden arc of love.

Part of a perfume collector book
It was Mallory who was embarrassed, unable to look into his eyes. “A lighter, with a shell on it,” he said under his breath.
Vanessa kindly searched the inside of her bag and held the lighter in her hand with a comfortable and open smile. “One forgets where to get these things!”
This.
He did not have a guilty face and did not pretend to be surprised. If anything, Mallory was someone who regretted taking his time.
It was then that it occurred to Vanessa that she did not even bother to ask who the lighter belonged to.
He did not have to.
Grace was frustrated. Mallory knew he could not do his job well, and it was a shame that he was even impressed by Vanessa’s dignity and courage.
Mallory’s voice was fragile. “What did you want me to say?”
Grace looked out the window. ” I do not know.”
He was unfair to Mallory; Anyway, he had returned the lighter.
Grace put it in her coat pocket, where she often kept it and was available, and had already made a hole in the silk lining.
“I can tell you it was strangely embarrassing. We were at the Royal Horticultural Society’s spring lunch.” It was as if his whereabouts made his efforts seem more heroic. “Please light a cigarette for me, will you?”
Grace turned on two.
For a moment they just smoked.
Mallory turned on the radio, switched from one radio station to another, and turned it off again.
