Smoking sirens entice to a sea of magnolias and resins
Ithaca, wasn't that the island where the guy from the Odyssey wanted to go? What was his name again? Aah, George Clooney played that. Without his dapper Dan Pomade, he was hardly able to survive and always slept with a hairnet, escaped with his equally unintelligent fellow inmates from a prison camp in the southern states, founded a band with a colorful guitarist who had sold his soul to the physical, who landed a huge hit without knowing it and who was seduced by Sirenen with the song "You and me and the devil make three" as well as by a Cyclope who sells Bibles, and all that, as it turned out, only so that Clooney could get his wife Penelope back. Hmm. But there is no ship in it and Ithaca is a Greek island. There's also a ship on the bottle. At Poseidon, wasn't there still something with man-eating Laistrygonen, the sorceress Kirke and the Hermes dispatch? I'm totally confused. Finally, there is this poem by Cavafy, which describes the whole life as the way to Ithaca, according to which only at the end of one's life one understood what these Ithacas meant. Phew, now I feel small. Well, I'll give it a try.
The journey begins with smoking sirens, here bewitchingly with the chord of fruity magnolia, bergamot and incense, whereby the citrus evaporates after a short time and leaves the smoky, fruity and flowery scent with a certain heavy sweetness to the field for a long time. I find this chord very strange at first, I have never smelled anything like it in this form before. I associate these circular white-red ringed lollipops from my childhood, only in high quality and more successful.
After about half an hour, the various tree saps appear more and more, causing slow-motion waves on Poseidon's sea of viscous resin. First of all, there are the for me always slightly fruity-medical benzoin, which seems to combine symbiotically with the magnolia, as well as the smoking resin clearly perceptible. The latter sprays through the overall impression, makes it coarse-grained, associates a smouldering fire on deck, before a light dark leather tone later resonates (Labdanum - for me the best phase of the fragrance), which in turn changes with the earthier patchouli and Nagarmotha notes and becomes darker, deeper and sweeter as the wine progresses. The landing on Ithaca begins after about four hours and is completed after another two to four hours. Aiolo's winds only blow in the upper moderate range before retreating close to the body after about two hours. I think this odyssey starts in autumn and ends in spring.
