The Magical Forest
An old man in their tavern told them about a legendary island. An island with citrus groves and a magical forest, evergreen, earthy, and sweet. They searched for a fisherman for a long time who could take them to the island, and today it is finally happening. Still in the night, they set off, and at dawn, they stand on the beach of the island.
Before them rises the forest, not dark, but bright and inviting. There is no trace of citrus groves. They have vanished or perhaps never existed. They push aside the slight disappointment; the coolness of the forest seems too inviting.
They step inside and find themselves truly in a magical place. Huge cedars provide shade. Sandalwood and cinnamon trees are also visible, and further back stand legendary cashmere trees, sweetly fragrant as described in the legends. An impossible forest and yet real.
But even here, a disappointment. It is not green, and the ground is not made of earth, but of cedar needles and stones. They venture deeper into the forest, in search of the promised wonders. Soon they are lost. It is getting late, and they fear missing the fisherman. But suddenly, an amber-colored light shines through the trees, showing them the way.
In the setting sun, they see the fishing boat coming to pick them up.
A legendary island with a magical forest? Suddenly they are no longer sure. Did they really experience all of this - or just dream it together?
----------
Cedro di Pantelleria is neither particularly fresh nor is it a chypre. It lacks the fresh-citrusy, the floral, or even the earthy-green notes one would expect. This is initially a disappointment, as the listed fragrance notes sound so beautiful.
However, if one frees themselves from these expectations, they discover a lovely, slightly spicy wood scent with a sweet amber-musk base. Cashmeran is used a bit too much here, giving a slightly artificial impression. Nevertheless: warm, cozy, nothing special, but certainly well made. The longevity on the skin is poor, a maximum of 3 hours, while on fabric it lasts at least 5. The weakest Acque di Italia so far...
