Go is a game of strategy in which two players attempt to surround each other's black or white stones. Simple in its fundamentals, infinitely complex in its execution, it is an essential expression of the Japanese sensibility. And in his fictional chronicle of a match played between a revered and invincible Master and a younger, more progressive challenger, Yasunari Kawabata captured the moment in which the immutable traditions of imperial Japan met the onslaught of the twentieth century. The competition between the Master of Go and his opponent, Otaku, is waged over several months and layered in ceremony. But beneath the game's decorum lie tensions that consume not only the players themselves but their families and friends - tensions that turn this particular contest into a duel that can only end in one man's death. Luminous in its detail, both suspenseful and serene, The Master of Go is an elegy for an entire society, written with the poetic economy and psychological acumen that brought Kawabata the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Himalaya perfume water — the grandeur of mountain peaks, the energy of clean air and a bit of mysticism, conveyed in the oriental woody composition of the fragrance. In the men's perfume, the Creed house managed to combine the greatness of nature and the strength of a confident man in a sensual composition. The character of the Himalaya fragrance is close to the mysterious atmosphere of Tibet, so after returning from a trip, Olivier Creed decided to convey his impressions, the beauty of mountain peaks covered with diamond radiance of snow, and the crystal transparency of the air in a new perfume masterpiece. The fragrance of Himalaya turned out exactly like this: mystical, beautiful, invigorating and unforgettable. This is an incredibly attractive combination for women who will turn their heads with a mysterious stranger and his intoxicating fragrance. A tempting and inspiring aromatic sound is more appropriate in the daytime. From the moment of application, Himalaya perfume water will develop and nourish its owner with energy and sensual notes, give coolness and thrills. The truly masculine essence of the owner of the Himalaya perfume water from Creed is guessed immediately, but the main secrets are hidden in the depths of an oriental woody fragrance that keeps the intrigue to the last note. The initial notes of Himalaya perfume water convey the freshness and transparency of the mountain air, filling with energy and strength. For this purpose, pure essences of grapefruit, mandarin and lemon were selected, enhanced by the bitter sound of bergamot. The "heart" of the fragrance, full of mysteries, has absorbed the woody chords of white cedar, vetiver and sandalwood. It is almost impossible to resist the temptation, because the train captivates with its magical aura of ambergris and musk.
