Buy Welsh Perfume online: A Temptation from the Monastery

There is nothing like perfume to stir the senses and to arouse the passions. Welsh perfume is especially potent, and women the world over seek out its heady scents. But have you ever considered that some of the best Welsh perfume available online is produced by celibate Roman Catholic monks?

On the island of Caldey off the coast of Tenby, this mysterious order of monks dwells, and they observe strict silence for twelve hours each night. Their life is austere and yet filled with joy, for they practice self-sufficiency, and they sell their wares to the public. And what are these wares? Shortbread, chocolate and perfume. Those things especially that tempt the ordinary mortal to taste of earthly pleasure are the common stock in trade of the monks of Caldey Island.

Shortbread is the one type of  pastry that contains as much fat as it does carbohydrates. Its rich flavor is due to the butter. Sinfully delicious and swathed in butter, bathed in butter, short bread is less bread and quite a bit more like cream.

And chocolate, full as it is of endorphins, mimics other sensual pleasures when consumed, and the brain is fulfilled, while the body longs for more.

And then there is perfume. What function does perfume serve in the general order of things? Who buys it and why do they buy it? And if it were to fall to an ill use, would not the monks have to answer for it, in this life or the next?

What man is not aroused at the scent of a woman? And what puts one in mind of the scent of a woman if not the perfume that women wear. How tantalizing it must be to have taken a vow of celibacy and to swear never to think of a woman again, and yet to be surrounded by womanly scents every day!

The monks of Caldey Island are Cistercians.They attend seven services a day, and they live by the strict discipline of St. Benedict. Their order was founded in the sixth century.

Whether you order their perfume online or make a special pilgrimage to Caldey Island, honor the sacrifices made for you by the celibate perfumers of the Caldey Monastery. They remain pure, so that we may benefit from their expertise. The Welsh perfume has been purchased at great spiritual cost, and this is something to keep in mind when making use of the product. Welsh perfume is like none other, both in its provenance and its making. Use it wisely!
