Numb and restless, I can feel a sense of hallow creeping through my soul. It travels slowly pinching at the core of my being. I lay in my bed like a lifeless spirit.
The smell of chocolate awakens me… forbidden by the guilty cries of vanity playing at the ebb of my innermost thoughts. One piece is all I ask… I plead as my fingers reach for the innocent pink box. I drown myself in the flavors…
The rich smooth taste of liquor travels down my tongue as the bittersweet layer crumbles… The smell of oranges escape and it dances in harmony with the powerful scent of chocolate… It can be so evil. It taunts you… You taste and experience sweet pleasure as the power of euphoria overcomes your feelings of guilt. For a brief moment, you feel alive again… until the lingering scent starts to disappear slowly.
I have tasted Fauchon… I will never be the same again…

For those who are as guiltless as I am, a box of Fauchon is available at the Rustan's Supermarket. Your sense of smell will take you there without the aid of a map.
