1799年2月25日 伦敦 西敏寺大教堂

Westminister Abby, London on 25 February, 1799

这是个苦涩的迷恋，那女孩的丰姿在她第一次出现在我的眼前时，就已经深深抓住了我的心，但却令人揪心的是，掳获她芳心的却是另一个看起来穷破，却勇气十足的年轻小子，这让我内心有种莫名的妒火与愤怒，那种像在潘海利根的尼罗河女神前面一开始的香气一样，是直接且毫无保留的，带点苦涩的天竺葵是我内心的不甘与愤怒，但却让我无法忽视掉那女孩鲜嫩可爱的表征，如同香水的葡萄柚元素一样清澈明亮，但当她眼里只有那卖远东破铜烂铁的臭小鬼时，心里面的酸，已经将我的理智给吞没了，就如尼罗河泛滥一般，无可收拾！

I am infatuatedly fascinated in this beautiful girl, her charming grace caught my heart in the first time we met. Yet it was also a sarrow that she fell in love with a poor young guy who contrarily owns extraordinary brave in love. I am so irritated, the fierce jealousy can devour anything which is same as the top note of Penhaligon's Oud de Nil. The straight and unconstrained performance would devaste all other beauties around without tolerance. It may be from the geranium presenting out my non-reconciliation and loneliness.

主教堂的钟声响起，偌大的礼拜堂里回音几乎可说是直达天际，在那钟声的回响之中，那清楚的脚步声逐渐朝我身后而来，她终究是赴约了！我知道在她心里，没有人比那让我鄙视的穷小子来得重要，但因为这样更让我知道，若为我所要的目的，不利用他，又怎会有今天她的出现。「亚瑟伯爵，你信中提到的那件事情，是不是可以请您说清楚？」凯萨琳的声音是高亢激动的，但她身上所散发出的那股魅惑香气，正为她那傲气凌人的尖锐圆润了不少，我转身看她那双清澈的大眼，秀长的睫毛一眨一眨的动人，那画面和那香气，是潘海利根尼罗河女神的玫瑰与茉莉，在脱俗中带有一点艳魅的魔力，那不是高冷的距离感，也不是粉嫩青春的小仙女，而是具有魅惑男性的那种野性，但却又不失那温柔婉约的本质，就是这样美丽。再更靠近一点，那带有脾气的魅惑力更强烈了，我直瞪著凯萨琳，宣示著这场战争她没有一丝胜算，「爱德华叫兰斯给妳们往法国的船票是吗？交换兰斯放弃杯葛妳父亲，妳和爱德华也得以远走高飞是吗？但妳忘了，我一样可以是妳的威胁，我家族的罗伯特公爵握有妳父亲在西班牙政策上的不法证据，一旦公诸于世，不仅妳父亲，包括妳姐姐公爵夫人，我想都得上断头台的。」

The bell is roaring in the Abby, and I can clearly hear the sound of stepping toward me. I know it’s her. Finally she still comes while I know in her heart the only important someone is the poor businessman. I may take a usage of him to seduce this pretty woman out for anything. “Earl Arthur, May I beg your explanation to what you wrote in your letter? Catherine is very furious with me now but it surprisingly makes me much more exciting. I can smell her unique floral fragrance which is very sexy and charming. It is not purely light but fatally seductive to males. I turn to her to seek more poisonous beauty. Her beautiful face with the two shiny big eyes as well as her vivid eyelashes coerce me to conquer her. It is the performance of Penhaligon’s Oud de Nil which the floral jasmine and rose scents never deliver the angel alike picture. The show comes to me is the attractive evil beauty and no one can escape from its magic power. I know I’ve already been addicted to this beauty. I step close to Catherine and say, “Do you think you’re doing the smart trick to all of this? Lance will give your father another chance as your Edward has begged him? Never forget that Duke Robert in my family does have more evidences to play your father and even your sister. Are you sure that you can love your Edward in Paris?”

的确我是恶魔，因为眼前这美若天仙的毒药，我成了她眼里的撒旦魔王，但我却深深地中了那无可救药的毒，他知道如果嫁给我，除了她父亲和整个家族都可以平安无事，我甚至可以帮助她的家族与兰斯家族抗衡，唯一要牺牲的，就是那个一文不值的爱德华，这个政治问题已经不难解了！我被她狠狠地瞪著，却更燃起了我的征服感，我走上前，霸道地攫夺了凯萨琳的吻，我闻著她身上那鲜明妖娆的花香，和著我身上皮革所散发的味道，俨然开始融合成美妙的木质花香；在潘海利根尼罗河女神的香气中，一样有这样的表现，乌木、愈创木和琥珀般的暖木开始包围著那美亮跳耀的花香，在美丽的花开后，有著温暖安全感的木香，扎扎实实地保护著，真真切切地围绕著，那是一幅阴阳调和的画作，著实吸引所有人！而我现在享受在这样的融合，即使眼前这个女孩已经心碎，甚至凶狠地在我唇上咬了一记，我仍旧没有后悔，「妳好好思考该怎么做才是对的！」我潇洒地离开，独留下一个心碎落泪的美人，这就是政治！而我也自私地留下了那让人痴醉的香，直到夜幕降临在这个绚丽的伦敦城。

Yes, I’m certainly a bad devil in this political game. I finally transformed into a horrible satan due to the unsurpassed beauty worn by this pretty girl. She is so smart to know the only way to save her family is to marry me. It not only helps her family in save but also my family will involve in contending against Lance’s family. The only sacrifice is the pity and worthless love with that poor Edward. Catherine stares me in anger but it contrarily raise up my willingness to conquer her more. I’m very cruel in this political battle now, so I directly kiss Catherine rudely without consideration. The soft floral fragrance from her is still clearly seducing me, and I can also find the leather scent from my coat combining  thereto. Penhaligon’s Oud de Nil possesses the same characteristics in this manner. The warm woody agarwood and amber are like a strong arm to hug the sexy floral scents in base note performance. The woody scent is just like the best supporting actors to push up the final show of Oud de Nil. I like this kind of combined fragrance even I know the girl is heartbroken with tears. She bite my lips to express her anger but I cannot care about it while I have no other choice in this game. “Take my proposal into your consideration and I wait your smart decision.” I left and I know she now has no other choice either.
