You shouldn’t have to have money to have a luxury fragrance.
We have to have powder for our wigs; that is why so many poor people have no bread.[Il faut de la poudre à nos perruques, voilà pourquoi tant de pauvres n’ont point de pain.]

He was all for catharsis and purification, he dreamed of an aesthetic consecration that should cleanse society of luxury, the greed of gold and all unloveliness.
