Eau de cologne
Typical Italian cologne, the best is its beginning, in that the Italian perfume houses are the numbers one, lasts much more than most of this type perfumes, although it is noticed that the Oud, White Musk are synthetic cheap or not very successful.

It's something that I will not buy when I finish what I have left.

The Chapel Above the Lake
It is still early in the morning, the sun shines from a cloudless sky. The thunderstorms from yesterday are forgotten and seem to have washed and cleansed everything. The air is still cool, but the heat of the day is already present within it. A hint of blossoms and citrus fruits lingers in the air.
First, the path winds through the forest. Spicy needles cover the ground and resins drip from the fresh wounds inflicted by yesterday's storm. Soon it steeply ascends the mountainside; the chapel is already visible, but still high above us. It shines bright white over the lake. The closer we get, the more pronounced the scent of incense becomes. Yesterday was Easter Sunday, and the remnants of the procession still hang in the air.
It is becoming increasingly dry and warm, and when we reach the chapel after an hour, the scent of incense is as clear as it was the day before. It mingles with the last dew in the bushes - fresh and inviting for contemplation at the same time. We pause and look over the lake far below. It is slowly awakening. The hustle and bustle on the promenades will soon begin, but here there is only tranquility.

---------------------

The Vinaccioli e Spezie by Acqua del Garda is a fine and subtle incense fragrance. It starts with a slightly bitter bergamot, which gains a more fruity note from the orange blossoms. However, these are merely supporting characters; the main character is the incense. Dry, resinous, and smoky in equal parts, it is present from the very beginning and remains until the end. Spices are certainly included, but I couldn't say which ones. Dry woody notes are still perceptible, making the scent quite linear. Grapes or their seeds are not present.
In the middle part, the incense reminded me of a church, but a bright, friendly one. There is nothing gloomy or dark about it. Later on, however, that changes. Here I feel that something patchouli is added, making it a bit "moist." Oud? At most as dry wood.
Thus, the scent fades away. The sillage is rather restrained from the start. The longevity is quite good; you can enjoy the tranquility for 6-7 hours.

The chapel does indeed exist; the Chiesetta di Santa Barbara is located west of Riva del Garda at halfway up the Cima S. A. T., which is accessible via a nice little via ferrata, the Via Ferrata dell Amicizia. Easter is a good time for this; it doesn't go too high up, so it quickly becomes snow-free, and in the height of summer, you wouldn't necessarily want to traverse the exposed west face...

Thanks to Cafeliberte for the great hiking letter!

Olfactory Journey I around Lake Garda
On the Riviera dei Limoni (the Citrus Coast) of Lake Garda, citrus fruits are still cultivated in orange groves (it. limonaia), although not as much as in the past.

In the forests around Lake Garda, cedars grow. The forests are interrupted by vineyards where grapes are grown to produce Bardolino wine. Due to the proximity of the lake, a Mediterranean climate prevails, mild in winter, hot and dry in summer.

On the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday before the start of Lent, the services of the "Triduum Sacrum" have been celebrated in Pieve on Lake Garda since the 18th century. A special event where not only vast amounts of incense are burned. A "Macchina del Triduo," a magnificently decorated candle holder made of painted wood with 365 candles for each day of the year, is set up in the church. Finally, the candles are lit. The light fills the altar area and the faithful sing songs inspired by folk melodies.

All of this is very well represented by Itinerario Olfattivo I. The citrus top note quickly gives way to the incense. The incense is very intense, and the cedars are also beautifully present. And grape seed adds green highlights. The incense in Itinerario Olfattivo I is not sweaty but dry. Therefore, this perfume also works in the unfortunately not dry heat of the dreadful summer of 2018.

Itinerario Olfattivo I also smells good on women, at least on older women, which I was able to prove today. The longevity is good, and the projection is okay. I will wear it for going out, daily, in the evening, at work, and in my leisure time, but of course not for sports. Because sports are... yes, exactly.

The box is very pretty, classically designed. With a dragonfly pattern. It is much larger than the bottle. The bottle is also classically functional. A curved line. It fits well in the hand. The plastic cap comes off a bit stiffly and clicks into place when you put it back on.

Quite a resinous blast. Dry, warm, pleasant. Citrus and cedar add a bit of bitterness. Very linear. But top-notch!

Reminds me of Hwyl but more bitter due to the citrus, otherwise the same damp-woodsy and incense-laden scene. Solid to good.

Frankincense with a honey note, which seems to emerge from the base notes. Somewhat dry at times. The oud or patch could have used a bit more (...)

Fragrant conifers, dry cones along the path, the midday sun beats down mercilessly.
Shade in a small chapel by the rock, incense.
