fragrant light swirls
During the long months of isolation, I learned a lot about fragrances.
Previously, I had considered them only purely personal, with my experienced and the stories that told me the respective fragrance on my skin.
Now I also discovered the "noses" behind it: e.g. the gentlemen of the Guerlain fragrance dynasty and so incidentally the François Demachy, whom I hold in high esteem and who creates a variety of fragrances for Givenchy and Dior.
So I learned to recognize backgrounds and many a fragrance note, which previously seemed to me bulky or even wrong in its place of the mosaic, opened up to me.
Certainly never completely; but I learned to read and listen with my senses: I learned to experience a scent!
With this in mind, I am of course even more curious than before and also wanted to know:
What inspired Jean-Claude Ellena to create his composition "Mimosa Tanneron"; a beautiful pearl in the "Collection de Grasse" of the house of Perris Monte Carlo?
And quickly I found what I was looking for. So Albert Camus wrote to his lover, the actress Maria Casarès:
"I will take you to Tanneron, on the other side of the moor, on a day with howling wind and bright sun. The passage runs in the sky amidst an opulent landscape, with slopes fading under the mimosas. I came home with yellow spots before my eyes and a swirl of light within me."
Wide-stretched moors, crisscrossed by paths bordered with hawthorn hedges, and the yellow serenity of the mimosas - yes, that explains this earthy, radiant scent of nature that spreads quite quickly and greets me kindly.
Like a summer day in Provence, where the mistral rages around and exuberantly throws everything into disarray. Nevertheless: even these lively days should be enjoyed to the fullest and with open senses.
Not only the spicy, earthy astringency of the small yellow flower balls of the mimosa, but also their sometimes almost numbing sweetness develops quickly and greets with a radiant smile.
Hawthorn hedges are located in front of our house and during flowering at the end of April/beginning of May, their strong scent wafts into the apartments. One can escape them badly.
Especially in the state of slight decay of the white umbels, their scent always reminds me of wet diapers.
But here, as a companion through the tart living nature, they stand in bright bloom and generously distribute their spicy waves of fragrance dancing in the wind.
Something original is developing. In this overall fragrance picture is also the rose, this time not elegant and noble, but rather down-to-earth peasant, harmonious and fragrant.
Who knows who put these plants here and then forgot?
In any case, they know exactly their value in this fragrance composition.
Tart-spicy, sweet and floral, rooted in dark, vibrant earth, "Mimosa Tanneron" strives towards its goal.
A cloak of white musk warming the senses completes this fragrance walk through the little cultivated nature of Provence very skillfully.
With joy and curiosity I welcomed this bottling and followed and marveled at the wonderful evolution of its fragrant contents into something very tender and loving.
How much love and dedication may well have gone into the development of this fragrance creature?
"Mimosa Tanneron" seduces for a few hours in the sunny south of France; the not always lovely, but also tart-beautiful Provence opens here.
No everyday fragrance accommodates the classic flacon of Perris Monte Carlo, but "radiant,
fragrant light swirls"!
