Invented Word of the Day: Quintesensual

Invented Word of the Day - Quintesensual - 20061023

True Happiness is experiencing the quintesensual!

Cor blimey, that Natalie Portman is just so quintesensual!

Definition – from Phil’s Mind

Quintesensual

Adjective FORMAL

1: being the most pure and perfect example of something that embodies the characteristics to arouse or excite the senses, especially of passion, sexuality and touch.
2: pertaining to aphrodisiac qualities

Examples:

Damiana, Fo-Ti-Tieng and Gotu-Kola are quintesensual spices.

I’ve just come back from an all-day beauty and makeover session; what a quintesensual experience that was!

Derived from the words Quintessential and sensual. Possibly coined by Corrinne Jenner and Carol Outram whose website I stumbled across:

http://www.quintesensual.com/

They specialise in holistic beauty, well-being, anti-ageing and skincare treatments. If you happen to be in the London area running a business full of stressed out ladies, this could be the website to visit, where you will find they are offering an ‘Office Rescue’ package!

And finally for something QUINTEUPHONIOUS!

This very beautiful video and music piece has already been viewed more than quarter of a million times on Yahoo videos. It's an absolute must to watch and listen to. Please take your time to enjoy it.

This piano piece is called 'Comptine d'un autre été: L'apres midi - by Yann Tiersen'.

It also features in the soundtrack of one of my favourite films: Amelie.

was listening to the piece when your message arrived, its beautiful Phil. I love a lot of classical music, but Opera is my thing, and especially Maria Callas, and Andrea Bocelli and of course the 3 tenors.
I am surely odd, coz i love old rock too xx

Hmmm...I read, yes I did, I tried to understand (pardon my ignorance) but..hmmm...its not my task to understand right now :D. I admire your "Trade Promotion" for Quinteuphonious!

'QUINTEUPHONIOUS' - what does that mean???? I couldn't find that in the online dictionary too...nice video by the way. Is Amelie so good? heard of it, but never saw...

As I am, perhaps I should have dropped a stronger clue that I invented the word. Since quintessential means 'the perfect example of a type' and euphonious means 'sweet sounding' I put the two together to mean a perfect example of sweet-sounding music. Yes if you like arty films, amelie will be right up your street... Koolbee, that's a good idea, do you think if I patent/copyright the word I could sell it to some organisation in the music trade (wink)! Annwyl, I'd replace the word 'odd' with 'broadly appreciative'! I love Andrea Bocelli's stuff too! He has a beautiful voice.

:) no, the smell is all over the blog, may be it is the tired mind refusing to work after a long day!
That is not a bad idea to copyright that, you can earn an extra, or if you are lucky, you can retire:)

I like opera but haven't been much into it. Would be appreciative if you can initiate me with something specific I can listen to...

Koolbee (uhm.. the name now in Chinese) I don't think I'll be patenting the word but, you know it's really got me thinking some ideas... perhaps you will see more inventions to follow! As I Am, I'll look around for something especially for you... coming soon. Debbie and Sai, thanks for the compliments. Trung, great to chat with you the other night! Thanks for your support.
