At the beginning of almost any perfume advertisement, there is a moment when nothing is happening on screen. The shot might be black, or it might only suggest a silhouette—but the sound has already begun. A low, almost inaudible cello vibrates somewhere in the chest before the eye even has something to focus on. This is a vibration you don’t so much hear as physically feel: it enters through the ribcage, not through the eardrum. And that, precisely, is the entire focus.
