Location The Essence of Time

[Paragon]

The Essence of Time The Essence of Time is a Perfume Shop on West Street, owned by Xenil Lightouch. It is a small, well-furnished and tastefully decorated shop. Two things will strike you upon first entering: the unoffending light vanilla smell which wafts out through the door, and the beautiful ceiling, proof that the perfume trade is far from completely dead, with its army of privileged patrons among the higher classes. The shelves and counters are lined with a multitude of glass vials in all shapes and sizes, most clear but some in more vibrant jewel-like colours. It must also be noted that, in recent years, the Essence of Time has gained a reputation as the perfect place to pass notes onto a lover or to find an illicit relationship among the upper-class, due to its respectable yet romantic exterior and interior, its never being too crowded nor too empty, not to mention the extraordinary discretion of Xenil, Valentine and any other temporary staff. Here, you can be sure to conduct conversations in peace until you catch the eye of the assistant or owner, who will then immediately appear by your side, as if by magic, all courtesy and charm.
