Day 4, 5th novella: This story is probably my favorite in the Decameron. The idea of keeping the head of a deceased lover in a pot of basil and watering it with tears is both morbid and beautiful. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a perfume that captures the scents mentioned in the book: rose water, basil, orange blossoms, and earth? I need to check if something similar is available in the perfume market!
