English Version | Scarlet Dictionary

Because love is passion incarnate, it is a raspberry whisper, it is a magenta sin… but not only that. The word may only have four letters, but it contains an almost unlimited list of concepts and terms: in a game of seduction or in eternal oaths sealed with roses, it is heart and soul, life and death, it is the cupid that cannot be seen and the temptation that lurks everywhere. There are not enough scarlet Pantones to color its entire size, nor enough concepts and expressions to limit its definition to any reductive paragraph. The only thing it may have is shape: because a love that is worth it is the one that fits you.
