PREFACE:

The "extrait de musique" collection aims to describe with incense
the many sounds of the registers of the Great Organ of Notre-Dame
Cathedral in Paris.
The sixth new fragrance to be presented speaks synaesthetically of
the trumpet register, belonging to the reed family, one of the oldest
organ registers. The first documented attestation of this register
is found in a description of a large organ from the first century
B.C., placed in a gladiator arena.
Reed registers the sound due to the vibration of a tab (the reed)
on two walls.
Characterized by a particularly metallic and "scratchy" sound just
like real trumpets, they enrich and complement the instrument.
The cap, like the previous extrait de musique, faithfully reproduces
the stops of the registers of the Parisian Grand Organ.
Trompette 8 is enclosed like its predecessors inside an entirely
handmade wooden box, reminiscent of the wooden case of large pipe
organ soundboxes.
